LSI SAS9300 Firmware Update Failure

[Al89]

Please Help!!
The card seems to be stuck.
I don't know where to go from here.

From eBay, IBM Lenovo ServeRAID M1210. It said it was flashed to IT mode. However, this is in the dmesg:
AVAGO MegaRAID SAS FreeBSD mrsas driver version: 07.709.04.00-fbsd
mrsas0: <AVAGO Fury SAS Controller> irq 41 at device 0.0 numa-domain 0 on pci10

mrsas0: FW is in FAULT state!!
device_attach: mrsas0 attach returned 6

All the research I have done suggests that this is a firmware issue and it needs to be re-flashed.

Downloaded the firmware from here: Support Documents and Downloads

Tried to flash with: SAS3FLSH.EXE -0 -f SAS930~1.BIN



No Avago SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available!

I would imagine this is a process that you need to go through to flash this card. And I am really lost on how to do this. Is it documented somewhere how to flash this card? Could someone provide a link or something or tell me how to make this work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

we are on the same boat. It's been 2 days. I have the LSI 9300-8i, It suddenly gave the fault 05h. Then tried to flash it and the adapter cannot be found.

Any luck with getting this card flashed?

no luck. Intermittently undetectable. Its now in a storage box. Getting a newer version most prolly a supermicro this time.

I just successfully flashed my card today to IT Mode. I have the same card referenced at the top of this post the IBM M1210 9300-4i Card

I have had a LSI SAS3 card with the same issue, bought a batch of 10 cards, one of them was visible in bios, but not in UEFI/DOS/Linux. My guess is the controller is damaged/dead. The other 9 worked flawless.

Do you have instructions on how you flashed this card?
In sas3flash I am also getting "No Avago SAS Adapters Found!"
I tried MegaRec in DOS but also didn't see my card.
