LSI CLI cmds

[tiro_uspsss]

Was just watching this:

@ 8m36s - 8m43s, the fellow types in "sas2flash -list -c 0"

If I use that cmd on my 9300-8i, I don't get the same output as AoS, I get an error.. yes I am a Linux n00b. What is the relevant cmd, to get the same ouput?

TIA!

for the SAS3 generation cards, you need to use sas3flash instead of sas2flash.

tried that.. & also downloaded the relevant 'sas3flash' zip/file, still no go

 

[tiro_uspsss]

ignore previous, forgot to put "./"

new problem: both 'sas3flash list' & 'sas3 display' come back with 'No Avago SAS adapters found!'

that's because you should probably run:

./sas3flash -list -c 0

./sas3flash -list -c 0

that's one of the cmds I tried, but to no avail

can you check to see if you have 'lspci' command available? you can enter something like:

which lspci

and if it shows you a path to it like "/usr/bin/lspci" then you have it. if not, you need to install it, and I'd have to refer you to your OS package manager to do that.

once you have it, run

lspci -Dmmnn | grep LSI

And see if the card is even present in your system.

Are you running sas3flash with root privileges (eg using sudo)?

 

[tiro_uspsss]

no, should I be? the error it gives back doesn't seem to suggest that that is the problem, but will try

lulz, I am a n00b, ran it, it now gives back what I want (with cmd: sudo ./sas3flash -list -c 0)
