Correct, I had no clue about my sig or how out of date it was, thanks to the new forum software. The version is updated now though. I do have 8G of memory in the box, but with 2 debian VM's and 120+ days of uptime, I figured that the memory usage would end up getting high. If that doesn't make sense, what should I check into to find the cause? Thanks.

Good call. It was at 100% memory. Rebooted first and then I was able to update without issue. Thank you very much.

I'm getting the below error when I try to update from 6.6.6 to this version. I assume its not specific to the version, but I still figured this would be the best place to post about it. plugin: updating: unRAIDServer.plg plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.7.0-x86_64.zip ... failed (File I/O error) plugin: wget: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.7.0-x86_64.zip download failure (File I/O error)

I updated the FW (from 15 to 20.00.04) and the mode (from IR to IT). I'm guessing I could have done either one,independent of the other, but I figured I would just do both at the same time.

After putting things off for a bit, I put the LSI 9211-8i card in my windows box and after a little tinkering, (it didn't want to flash as IT mode over IR mode initially and a few other fun things) I was able to flash it to the version 20 FW and into IT mode. I tried it in the unraid box initially, but I had no luck. It was much easier in windows, thanks to the .bat files. I'll do my best to lay out what worked for me and help anybody in a similar situation as much as I can if needed. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and the link fireball3. Would I be able to do this with the card in the unraid box using "Installer_P20_for_Linux" or would I need to have it in a windows box first and use "9211_8i_Package_P20_IR_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows"? I'll try loading the card up with drives and doing a parity check, like you said. That makes sense to ensure all the drives are seen on the card and its good to go. Thanks in advance.

This will be my first time trying to flash a raid card, so I just wanted to post this to make sure I'm going through the steps correctly. I recently got "LSI Internal SATA/SAS 9211-8i 6Gb/s PCI-Express 2.0 RAID Controller" off of ebay. I should be able to install it in my unraid server and flash it with "LSI SAS2008 Controllers(P11)Linux.rar - 3.16 MB (unRAID)" listed on the first page of this post, with the "LSI SAS2008 chipset" section, right? MY initial though was to install it in my desktop for the flashing, but I might as well do it in the unraid box if I can. After that I should be able to see the mode as IT in the server logs, correct? Also, how would I go about testing the card itself to make sure all is well with it (since I got it from ebay used)? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much Joe L. Good to know everything looks fine.

Quick check on my results before I add the drive to the array.

Thanks in advance.

That internal USB connection thing is awesome. I might just have to throw that on to my next newegg order. Will it work with all mobo's? I got the biostar off of the old budget build. Thanks.

Easy enough. Thanks for the help as always Joe.

Nothing looks weird to me. What looks weird to you? I thought that > 241 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 625144849 > 242 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 1903926051 was weird, but if there is nothing to worry about I'm cool. Thanks.

Just precleared a new drive that I'm going to use as a boot drive in another machine and got some stuff that looks weird to me.
