Hi, I recently obtained a Dell PERC H200 which had been previously played with and was not working. The SAS address was gone, the firmware was gone and the bios was erroring. I am trying to flash it to LSI SAS9211-8i firmware and am able to get it to detect in dos, sas2flsh -listall shows the card as a LSI SAS: SAS2008(B2), then says "Controller is not operational. A firmware download is required" when I try and pass it the dell HBA file 6gbpsas.fw, it progresses to "Chip is in reset state. Attempting Host Boot..." then errors saying "ERROR: Firmware Host Boot Failed !". Same thing happens with both 2118IR.BIN and 2188IT.BIN. from reading through this thread i've tried doing the megarec -cleanflash 0 and writing empty sbr files in different orders without much luck. the megarec -writesbr 0 empty.bin returns; Warning! IO Base address high. Currently not supported. Chip is in FUSION mode and megarec -cleanflash 0 returns; Warning! IO Base address high. Currently not supported. Flash Signature Error. Trying to clear it..... Step 1: Host diag reg reads 1f2 Step 2: Host diag reg reads 1b2 Using BAR2 mem space. Erasing Flash Chip (8mb).... Completed 100% Success. I dont think these commands are running and succeeding correctly which is the source of my issue. When I try to run the sas2flsh -o -e 6 command, it says a firmware is required to hostboot, i try giving it the 6gbpsas.fw file, or the 2118IT.bin file and it says controller does not have valid firmware, rerun utility to flash a valid firmware. Ive tried Fireball's toolset (which I have had success with in the past) but I am still stuck. I think I may need to flash some FW file back to the card using megarec, but I cant seem to find a valid file. Any help would be much appreciated.
