I also have a Fujitsu D3116 controller (mine is chip revision C1) and I also couldn't get sas2flash to recognize the adapter. Here is what I triedHey vanfawx, great work!
I have bought an rx300 with an RAID Ctrl SAS 6G 1GB (D3116) with MR. I need to crossflash because I want to use ZFS without any raid controller.
As far as I can tell this card is based on LSI 2208 and I tried several sas2flsh P5/P13/P14/P15/P20 (dos/efi) without success => No adapter ...
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
The reason the controller appears different is because the original "LSI 2208 fixer kit" contains a very old version of firmware for the card, and the Avago firmware that was on the card was most likely newer.I also have a Fujitsu D3116 controller (mine is chip revision C1) and I also couldn't get sas2flash to recognize the adapter. Here is what I tried
But when running sas2flash -list it'll always tell me he didn't find any LSI controllers. I tried different versions of sas2flash (P5, P7, P14, P15, P16, P17, P18, P19, P20) even on different mainboards, one with DOS only and one with UEFI and even tried the Linux versions. But all the same. I also tried lsirec instead of sas2flash:
- Backup SBR and SDP
- megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
- megarec -cleanflash 0
- Reboot
But when trying to hostboot lsirec will always fail with "IOC failed to become ready" and I stil can't crossflash the Fujitsu controller. Any help/advice much appreciated. I attached the SBR I backed up (should hopefully be a stock D3116 SBR) and the output of megarec -adpallinfo -a0 (before I started to mess around with the controller)
- lsirec 0000:05:00.0 unbind
- lsirec 0000:05:00.0 halt
- lsirec 0000:05:00.0 hostboot 9207-8.bin
[Edit]
Interesting fact that I noticed is, that my SBR is 512byte and all sbrempty.bin I could find are only 256byte, so maybe writing a 256byte SBR won't clear everything?

I recovered my controller by doing a megarec -m0flash with the 2208_16.ROM I found in this thread and by restoring my original SBR. And now it boots again, but something is different now. It shows LSI BIOS (was Avago before) and controller's vendor name is also LSI (was also Avago before) but product identifier is the old Fujitsu one "RAID Ctrl something" which kinda makes sense I think because I flashed a (stock) LSI firmware and used the Fujitsu SBR. So it seems I now have a Fujitsu controller booting with (stock) LSI firmware. But still sas2flash won't find any LSI controller.
Hi,friends. I'm also working for crossflash an IBM M5110 to lsi 9270. Sorry for my disturbing, and I'd like for a copy for the SBR files...@gdclub send me a PM with the email you want me to send it to.
I have the lsi 9266 oem sbr . if you need the sbr send me a emai (alan.l.zheng@gmail.com)Many thanks @BLinux - I tried again to crossflash the 9266-8i, it doesn't seem to "self-repair" the SBR on this card. Megarec.exe -cleanflash (twice ;-), and - writesbr BIGB0STK.sbr allowed me to lsirec hostboot w. 9205-8e - and complete flashes. But no succesfull reboot. I also tried lsirec hostboot with various other FW.ROM'sithout luck.
I really liked your insights about flashing low-level with megarec -m0flash, and again tried with a number of FW.ROM'srious 16MB LSI recovery ROM's and original and latest 8MB MR2208FW.rom
No self-repair of SBR.
Anyone with a copy of an original 9266-8i sbr? Possibly 9271-8i or IBM M5016 SBR's?
/Kim Bjoern
should be same as the ibm m5110. I don't have the 9271 controller. as long as you back up the original sbr you can always flash back.Is Cisco UCS-RAID9271CV-8i flashable to IT mode? If so would your provide a short instruction ?

Google 'lsi2208fixer.iso' boot to this and you should be able to recover your cardWhen I boot into DOS-mode megarec -adplist shows no controller.
I think I killed it puttig it in and out but perhaps (because I removed the low profile bracket and had not the high profile to hold it...) it was bricked by the software and can be revived. What do you say? Thank you.
It may still live@mobilenvidia
Thank you for your answer. I tried this ISO and it did not find the card. That means the card is dead.
Broadcom bought Avago who bought LSI. Any of those brandings would be considered "retail LSI".when we say retail LSI, does one that boots up as AVAGO count?
