Hope you all had good holidays!
I'm having weird issues with HBA on my ESXi 6.5 homelab and need your insight
.
MB: S2600Cp2J
HBA: 2x RS25KB080 flashed to LSI FW 9205-8e. These are internal but based on the C0 stepping of 2308 and could not be flashed to 9207-8i as discussed in the Intel Xeon e5-2670 pricing thread. (search did not work or I would link to the post in that monster thread )
Not sure it's a FW issue (20.00.06.00) on one of them or VMW drivers / VIB incompatibilities. All the SAS Drives show degraded but no SMART issues and ran badblocks before putting in service. I've also experienced VM file corruption on one of the drives also. Using Intel OEM 8087-8087 cables so hopefully that is not contributing factor. I guess I can first update the flash to 20.00.07 so both cards have the same FW.
I know LSI has the tools on ESXi but not having much luck on having them recognize the cards. Suspect missing LSI modules. My google fu has failed me also on MPTLib2 error I'm getting on SAS2IRCU. I love the
LOCATE' option on that tool.
See attached command output and screen clip for more details.
