December 13, 2025Dec 13 Hi I am having some compatibility issues regarding the broadcom 9600-24i and the Linkreal LRSACX36 -24IE SAS Expander using the 35X36 chipset from Broadcom as well.Im getting some Faulty state as well from the expander. However I was able to connect drives directly to the HBA card and faced no issues. Only when the expander was introduced then the issues began as I connected drives directly to that expander. Am a new homelab user but am familar with Linux in general.I spoke with the seller whom I got the expander card from and on his 9500-16i it is working and that I need to set the personality to HBA but currently its locked to eHBA as shown in this blog post.https://z8.re/blog/aspm-part-2.htmlThe drives can be seen from the LSI Storage Authority Application but shows them to be in an unconfigured bad state. I bought this as I believed that Broadcom based products should be able to work easily with other products.Was wondering if anyone has a working expander with the 9600-24i card. Thanks.Thank you everyone for your help ☺️ . Edited December 13, 2025Dec 13 by AnIceKing Typos
