I have two servers, both running Debian 12. Server 1 has a single LSI 9207-8i HBA and server 2 has 2, 9207-8i HBAs. All 3 HBAs are flashed to IT mode with the P20 firmware. What I can't figure out is how to delete the BIOS for the HBAs in server 2 (showing 07.39.02.00 for BIOS).
Wanting to erase the BIOS for the 2 cards in server 2, I booted into the UEFI shell and issued this command for both cards: (using -c 0 and -c 1 to select the cards one at a time)
But after power cycling the system, the 2 HBAs in server 2 still show 07.39.02.00 for the BIOS. Why? Is that command not right? When the PC boots, I don't see any BIOS screen for either card but I'd like to erase the BIOS anyway.
Any ideas?
Code:
