Info on LSI SAS3408? Got myself a 530-8i on eBay...

LSI9440-8i

i can not tell you exactly what to do here, only what to try as all the variants of these cards, and EFI shells, or people flashing from BSD, linux, dos, all cause some slight differences.

with the jumper OFF i would make sure these 2 commands work and report correctly.

storcli / c0 show
storcli / c0 show all

if that works then with the jumper ON writing the firmware file is a matter of discovering how your card likes the command. also, where did you get storcli.efi? there are different versions of that and sometimes they can have better support.

also, the 9440 seems to be classed as a megaraid card, you might need to wipe the firmware first. but again, i cant walk you through the steps and fixes.

If anyone can help me.
I have cards RAID 9460-16i, HBA 9300-8i and 9400-8i8e. I need them working with OOB(I2C or PCIe).
RAID 9460-16i - works fine.

Mentioned HBA's are not working as expected:
1. HBA 9300-8i - present on i2c bus with addr 0x0a. But when the app performs "i2c_read" command the i2c bus is stuck low forever until power off/on the machine.
2. HBA 9400-8i8e - not present on i2c bus at all.
Using storcli to config OOB shows this:


Is there any way to enable and use the oob management on HBA cards?

Is there any way to enable and use the oob management on HBA cards?

this feature is configured in firmware with vendor specific usage. for example, if you had a Lenovo server that came preconfigured with a HBA, the OOB port on the mainboard would report whatever options through their OOB interface that were being handed out from the HBA.

i do not know of any documented way of doing this. IX systems does have some systems with OOB implemented, you may ask them if there is any info they could share on usage. there may be some public shareable commands that could be used.
