IBM M5015 experiences

[xayide]

Is it possible to get Cache 2.0 and all features on an M5015 without using any extra hardware, ie some kind of software patch?

You can crossflash & then buy the software license key.

Hello, i would like to flash LSI 9261-i8 to Dell H700.

Unfortunately, I have flashed the SPD not the SBR!!!!

Now the Controller said:

RAID ADAPTER
unrecoverable Error
Please check the SDRAM connection
If problems persist contact Tech Support
Press any key to continue....

Can someone send me the SPD file from a LSI 9261-i8 controller to flashed it again?

Thank you!

Dear All,

I have 3 M5015 controllers. I flashed them to 9260-8i firmware.

I did the following:
1) megarec -cleanflash 0
2) megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
3) reboot
4) megarec -m0flash 0 0102_lsi.rom (I tried other versions)
5) megarec -writesbr 0 sbr9260.bin
6) reboot

The first two controller flashed normally and I was able to use RAID6 without hardware key. The last controller does not allow to use RAID6 without key like IBM M5015.

Why is this happening and what am I doing wrong?
