6.6.0-6.6.1 LSI 9211-8i Issues

I don’t really have much to add other than that I’m running an IBM m1015 cross flashed to the 9211 IT firmware on an i5 3470 with zero issues.

mine is also running IT firmware, and it runs stable on 6.5.3 and when i upgrade to 6.6.1 it starts throwing errors only with that upgrade.

Running a plain jane LSI SAS9206-16e - ran stable without any issues since 6beta.

 

Hmmm - guess if it works you don't really need to flash...

im running two very different server both with same LSI 9208 8i in IT mode no issues here

Looks like when 6.6.X is upgraded to if your LSI Card is running firmware P20.00.00 it needs to be upgraded to P20.00.07.

If not it will be incompatible with 6.6.X and start throwing read errors randomly on drives.

As per the thread attached below, i am waiting till my system is idle then i can try this method i can confirm i am running P20.00.00.

 

 

p20.00.00 and p20.00.04 can have issues with any Linux driver version, and you are already on p20.00.07

I thought i was on P20.00.00 but i am actually on P20.00.07.

Does it need to be a version before P20?

No, 20.00.07 is the latest one and it's working fine, LSI controllers are likely the most used with Unraid at the moment, so if they were a problem with v6.6 I'm certain there would be a lot of bug reports, your issue is likely unrelated.
