Solved - LSI SAS 9201-8i Not Recognizing Drives


Recommended Posts

Edit-solved: A user on another public forum pointed out the M1015 firmware, which belongs to an IBM branded lsi 9220. I found some guides and files on the truenas forums for flashing this card. Once flashed, no problems.

 

Heya, I just purchased a LSI SAS 9201-8i to increase internal drive capacity. I noticed it shows up as the same device on both systems, but my main system does not recognize the attached drives. Is something in my configuration stopping it? Any help is much appreciated. I do not believe updating firmware or flashing to IT mode of 9211-8i will do anything. I attempted, but was not able to anyways.

 

It is recognized at boot and the correct amount of disks. It even works in my Windows 10 PC and another test system of very similar config.
