I have a 9300-16i that has a dirty flash. how to fix?

[rykr]

I flashed controller 0 with .12 firmware and it worked fine. But it won't flash the second one on the card. the NVDATA for contorller 0 is reported as 0e.01.00.03 while the second one is 0e.01.00.07. I can't find the correct nvp file to flash.

Anyone got any suggestion on how to fix? Thanks in advance!

what's the PCI ID information on it? (PCI Class, Vendor, Product, Sub-vendor, Sub-product)

I suspect the PCI ID information is different than controller 0?

The 9300-16i actually consists of two 3008 chips, so you can just flash the 9300-8i BIOS onto it. sas3lfash -c x

No, that would actually mess it up and is probably why the OP is having problems. Using the firmware files from the 9300-8i will flash, but it will cause the manufacturing page to be updated with info for the 9300-8i. Afterwards, if you try to update with 9300-16i firmware, it will complain about mismatch. That's why I'm asking the OP about the PCI ID... if it shows 9300-8i information, then someone did what you are suggesting and that's the problem. The fix is to completely erase the manufacturing page and flash the correct 9300-16i firmware. Anyway, OP hasn't responded in over a week so I assume they figured it out.

sas3flash -o -e 6

No, -e 6, from the manual:

Clean flash (erase everything except manufacturing area)

If the manufacturing page is mismatched, it needs to be erased too.
