ibm m1015 flashing

[SINN78]

So i have 2 of these and 1 dell perc in my system anyway to safely flash the ibm's without having to have only 1 card in the system at a time?

you can target each card by ID or target both cards at the same time. doing a megacli -AdpAllInfo -aAll -page 20 or sas2flsh -listall you can get the card ID number.

You can then target the individual cards like so..

megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
megarec -cleanflash 0
sas2flsh -o -c 0 -sasadd 500xxxxxxxxxxxx
sas2flsh -o -c 0 -f 2118it.bin

In these commands the 0 (zero) represent the cards ID number. 0 (zero) will be the first card and 1 (one) will be the second and so-on.

One thing to be careful of is that not all of the LSI utilities see the same set of controllers at the same ID. megarec saw a Dell PERC H700 that sas2flsh didn't see. I accidentally erased the H700 because of that.

megarec -adplist

Hit or miss whether it'll return adapter info or an error.
