Yes, I went past this prompt; however, the original password used during the setup of Mariadb was not accessible. I had to leave the password blank and hit enter to get to this prompt. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

When creating the admin user, I get the error in the attachment. I am stuck at this point. Thank you, Lev $MARIADBROOTPASSWORD is the root password you set $UNRAID-IP:PORT is the Unraid IP port (For me that would be 192.168.0.1:3305) Thank you. When I initially setup MariaDB I set a simple password; however, when running That password was not accepted and only a blank response would lead to the next prompt. So, when trying to add a NC admin account, I tried various combinations of the passwords, including just leaving it blank. None worked. Any chance on editing/setting a new MariaDB password so that I can use it during the NC setup. When you setup MariaDB did you set a root password in the template? If not probably worth nuking the container and starting again. During the initial mariadb setup I set a simple three letter password.

I am stuck a setting up NC. I followed the directions as outlined in #408, except for the last set of instructions, which I cannot figure how to execute: When creating the admin user, I get the error in the attachment. I am stuck at this point. Thank you, Lev

Crossflashing the H310 is not as straightforward as with genuine LSI products. It is mandatory to flash the DELL IT firmware or you will not be able to flash the LSI firmware. In my post, I have linked to opentoe's finding. He says, the DELL IT firmware is also working with unRAID. I remember having read something about a different queue depth in the DELL firmware. Can't say if it is affecting performance in unRAID though. If unRAID shows your drives, the flashing has worked. As I explained in the how-to, if you flash the BIOS, the card will report duing POST and then you will probably see the operating mode it is in. Unfortunately there is no other benefit but it will increase boot time so I decided to skip the BIOS. Opentoe talks about the depth queue being different. He then recommends using the LSI firmware. Is that the consensus? Flash first with Dell and then with the LSI firmware? I am not concerned with BIOS, as I do not want to add to the boot up times.

sas2flsh -list and sas2flsh -o -listall You can try both of these commands. OK. It showed up. I used the Dell 6gbpsas and that' what is reported as the vendor/product ID. It does not say anywhere that it is an (IT). Guess the next step is to try it in a box. Thank you! If you boot into unraid with it installed you should be able to go to tools->system log. Then scroll down and look for LSISAS2008. It should list wether it's in IT mode or not. OK. I'll try that either tonight or tomorrow and follow up.

So, on the 56X58D the sasflsh.exe completed without an error. How do I know if this worked?

Is there a difference in flashing the LSI2911-8i IT-Firmware (2118it) vs. original DELL IT-Firmware (6GBPSAS.FW) to PERC H310. Sorry for all the questions, but I am not sure as to what the difference.

Seriously? I have one of those boards. Is the process the same or do I need to modify anything? That's an old board. Can it run UEFI? Wow coincidence. You should have no problem then. No uefi. Just flash in dos. I use the bottom pci-e slot. I've never specifically flashed a Perc 310 but I imagine it should be the same. It should definitely work for you. I've flashed like 5 LSI 9220-8i controllers so far with this motherboard. Just to make sure, when you say to flash in DOS. The last step was always returning the same error code, Failed to initialize PAL. Did you have to do anything to avoid that? I will try that.

I have been trying to flash the H310 and keep getting stuck on the same step over and over. I am using the "Toolset_PercH310 to LSIMegaraid.zip" and think that am following the instructions pretty closely. The step where the Dell IT firmware is flashed keeps giving me the same error "Failed to initialize PAL. Exiting program". I have tried to perform the same steps on a Supermicro C2SEE board as well as Asus H87M-E. I tried booting into UEFI, as some have suggested, to no avail. Any help would be fantastic! Thank you, Lev ADAPTERS.TXT

I am sure that someone has already asked this question, and trying to dig through the posts of 63 pages... I have Supermicro SASLP cards that I want to swap for Dell h310 cards. Could you please point to where is the latest/best/easiest post for flashing the PERC h310 to work with unRAID? Thank you, Lev

Yes No, but you'll trust the disk more. (about 1 in 5 fail in the first hours of operation... do you feel lucky?) If the drive is less than 2.2TB, and NOT a WD-EARS drive with a jumper added, use -A only if an older <=2TB WD-EARS drive with the jumper added should you use "-a" Joe L. Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Lev

Yes, I may add the old parity in as a data disk, down the road. However, should I preclear the new drive prior to adding it in as a new parity? Will that make the parity rebuild faster? In the future, when preclearing new drives, should I stick with the "old" MBR format, or go the advanced route? Lev

I would like to add a new 4TB Hitachi drive to my system as a parity drive. My current parity is a 3TB WD red. I think that it would be quicker if I precleared the drive first. My system has been running stable for a few years and, when I upgraded to version 5.0 I kept the default partition format as MBR: unalighed. How should I proceed with the new drive? Should I preclear it as an ADVANCED FORMAT drive (-A) or leave all the same, (-a)? I am sorry if I am asking a question that has been already asked, but I cannot find the answer. Thank you, Lev
