What problems are you having that causes you to need to update? I normally only update firmware if I'm having problems. Updating can CAUSE problems so I don't update unless I have to.

Just purchased the Controller Below. https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4A05M20945 Just confirming the guides is still valid as zip files are from 2011 While the guide is valid, the files are probably outdated. Either grab them from the Broadcom site (look for P20.00.07.00) or grab the Dell Perc H310 package. Read the instructions. The resulting file should indicate the present firmware, maybe you don't even need an update. In case you do, you need only step 5_lsi_P20 and maybe step 6.

Firmware is available in that place and instructions should be there also, if you need more assistance, feel free to ask.

Ordered from eBay and I did decide to try it out after looking in bios it was indeed it mode. I changed boot support to disable. And everything is working like normal. very impress with this little card and this speeds. If I ever felt the need to update are their any how to?

June 30, 20188 yr Hello! I got through Jonny's Guide and Flashed my Fujitsu d2607-a21 properly however I never got he 2nd port Working even when I redo the megarec -writesbr 0 SBR-A21.bin Is there someting else to be aware with this card. Here's the link to the Actual card I got on ebay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Fujitsu-9211-8i-D2607-LSI-2008-SAS-SATA-RAID-controller-RAID-0-1/173311028878 Edit: It worked after a 3rd try. Got both port working, I'd recommend that card on ebay very good price. Edited June 30, 20188 yr by Lorien
July 18, 20187 yr Hello! I just flashed my LSI 9207 4i4e and managed to wipe the SAS address with -e 7. Problem is i have no idea what to tell it to use as address from now on. Does anyone have an idea of what i should tell it to use? Is this address like a MAC address for a network card and unique? Is it model based or is it something the user can set to whatever they like? Edited July 18, 20187 yr by Oldtimer
July 19, 20187 yr Thanks @Fireball3! That did the trick. I think i should mention that the new/updated EFI version of the tool that i used had slightly changed parameters. Old: -o -sasaddr <address here> New: -o -sasadd <address here>: Note the missing r on parameter and trailing : after, i dont know if the old syntax had the trailing one.

July 20, 20187 yr 9207 is an HBA, that means, sold in IT mode. The download page suggests it can be flashed to IR mode though. The equivalent card in IR mode is obviously called 9217 \firmware\HBA_9217_4i4e_IR\9217-4i4e.bin
July 22, 20187 yr Just reporting back a plain success. Just cross flashed an M1015 to 9211-8i firmware P20, with BIOS and EFI BSD.Now I have two more cards to play with, another M1015 and a Br10i. Inviato dal mio SM-A530F utilizzando Tapatalk

August 10, 20187 yr A note for someone who has the same issue, the LSI SAS HBA 9201-8i uses the same firmware as the 9210-8i NOT 9210-16i. To update download the sas2flash program from https://lime-technology.com/wiki/Crossflashing_Controllers#LSI_SAS2116_chipset and then download https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12350504 which after unzipping will give you 2108it.bin.
August 15, 20187 yr HI, I'm relatively new to server-grade equipment, I got an old HP DL380G5 with a P400 Raid controller. I've been looking to flash it as it is just a LSI SAS 1078 chipset and I see a few times on here saying a Linux driver supports the chipset (1068E and SAS2008). Does this mean I can flash my card with either of these firmwares or am I just wrong and can't I flash this card at all? Sorry if it's a bit of a noob question but I'd rather not just try and find myself with a bricked card. Also I have been browsing this thread for a solution to this, but as there are 60+ pages I may have read over the solution, If this is true, please point me to what I need and call me an idiot ;) Kind regards
August 15, 20187 yr not sure about flashing, but i think P400 will not support drives larger than 2TB..
