Hello, my brother, I also bought this card, bought from China, I am a person who loves toss, and therefore some problems, So I came to ask for help
PS:I came to this forum for the first time. I don't know the rules of posting. If there is any inappropriate place, please forgive me. I am a Chinese. English is relatively poor. All content is basically machine translation. Please ignore some grammar mistakes.
Here's what happened to me.
This card was disassembled from HP's server, and the IR mode is displayed after power on, as shown in the figure below, but my hard disk can be found. Very strange
Because the firmware version is relatively low and IR mode self check is very slow, I want to brush it into P2O it mode and download the latest firmware from “the official website9212_4i4e_Package_P20_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip ”
The first step is that I didn't back it up. I executed this command (I regret it very much now)
“SAS2FLSH.(EXE or EFI) -o -e 6”
I saw too many posts, I forgot to execute it under DOS or UEFI, but I am sure that the first one is the command and teld me executed Success。
Advanced Mode Set Adapter
Selected is a LSI SAS: SAS2008(B2)
Executing Operation:
Erase Flash
Erasing Flash Region...
Erase Flash
Operation Successful!
Resetting Adapter...
Reset Successful!
Finished
Processing Commands Successfully.
Exiting SAS2Flash.
Then I execute the second one (because DOS prompts failed to initialize pal when I update the firmware command, all of which I know is executed in EFI environment)
“sas2flsh -o -f 214i4et.bin -b mptsas2.rom ” The following error is prompted
Chip is in RESET state. Attempting Host Boot...
ERROR: Firmware Host Boot Failed !
Due to error remaining commands will not be executed.
Unable to Process Commands.
Exiting SAS2Flash.
I tried this solution below of unraid,-writesbr and -cleanflash all printed successfully, but flash firmware still tip me failed
Firmware Host Boot Failed !
I am not sure if there has a problem with the card itself, such as the firmware is blocked at the factory.
Or because I executed this command first “SAS2FLSH -o -e 6 ”?
But I see that others have succeeded in this operation.
By the way,
What is the difference between the “SAS2FLSH -o -e 6 ” and “ -writesbr 0 mepty.bin + -cleanflash ”
One more thing
before I flash firmware , when i turnd on power and pressd Ctrl + C , it always prompted this
But I've never been in the WebBios
Ask you for help. thanks
