HP P410 issues

[compuwizz]

I have a HP P410 with cache and battery. I updated the firmware to the latest, but then it seems somewhere along the updates HP made it so that you can only use the card in an HP system.

I can't seem to find out what LSI card this is a rebrand of to be able to cross flash it and be able to use it in a whitebox system. Hopefully someone has an idea, otherwise I'll probably have to sell it.

That would be because it's not an LSI rebranded card. The HP410 uses a PMC-Sierria 8011 Chipset as far as I know, so there's zero chance of flashing it to LSI

Sell the card on to someone that can use it and buy one of the more common LSI cards like the venerable IBM ServeRaid M1015, or the Dell H200/ 310 etc.

Thanks! I'll probably pick up one of the H220s from IT Mart that are on special here and place this P410 on ebay.
