I have got two Dell H200 HBA cards, one is already in IT mode (according to the screen that passes during boot up) but since i would like to use them both in the same FreeNAS system i need to flash the other one into IT mode as well. And maybe do the other one as well to make sure they use the same firmware version.
This should not be so hard (according to a lot op people ), i have looked at several websites and i think i know what to do. I am running the cards on a Supermicro X9SCM-F (EFI mode). I have removed one card, so there is only one card in the system now.
I have tried a couple of commands, but i keep getting errors.
When i use this command:
sas2flash.efi -listall
I get:
ERROR: Failed to upload image
When i try:
sas2flash.efi -o -e 6 or sasflash2.efi -o -e 7
i get :
Erase Flash Operation Failed
When i try sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin
i get the error:
Chip is in RESET State.
Firmware Host Boot Successful!
Writing Current MfgPage2 Settings to NVRam.
Failed to validate MfgPage2!
I am not sure what to do next, most HowTO's are not really clear about how to flash in EFI mode when the H200 already has got a LSI Firmware (IR).
So what should i do now?
Among others i have check this website:

But these megarec commands do not work in EFI mode.
