bigdave Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Can this same process be used to downgrade firmware? I need to go to 16 to get TRIM support back. Quote Link to comment

coreylane Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Great thread! Successfully flashed a Supermicro AOC-S3008L-L8e with Broadcom/LSI SAS 9300-8i / SAS3008 firmware v. 16.00.10.00 and BIOS v. 08.37.00.00 Quote Link to comment
Fuggin Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Quick question on this...great guide btw... I have read these are the steps one should follow. It mentions to flash the mpt3x64.rom and the controller address as well... sas3flash -list sas3flash -o -e 7 sas3flash -f SAS9300XXX_IT.bin -b mptsas3.rom -b mpt3x64.rom sas3flash -o -sasadd 50060XXXXXXXXXXXX Can you confirm if these need to be done?

Command Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have an LSI 9305-16i installed and `sas3flash -listall` results in the following: ``` Avago Technologies SAS3 Flash Utility Version 16.00.00.00 (2017.05.02) Copyright 2008-2017 Avago Technologies. All rights reserved. No Avago SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available! ERROR: Command Not allowed without an adapter! ERROR: Couldn't Create Command -listall Exiting Program. ``` I can't for the life of me figure out why. It is a sas3 card. I do see the card recognized in iommu groups (though it does occur to me that I do have another LSI card for external disk shelf, it is also recognized but I haven't tried using that card yet). Both cards are recognized but no drives can be seen. diagnostics attached. diagnostics-20220430-0738.zip Quote Link to comment

Command Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'm confused, how will unraid see the hardware? so unbind (I assume that means uncheck their iommu groups), then in console run sas3flash and it should see. OK will try . And JorgeB; thank you so much for taking any of your time to help me. I appreciate you greatly. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 26 minutes ago, Command said: I'm confused, how will unraid see the hardware? You only bind a device when you want to use it in a VM, Unraid won't see it when bound to vfio-pci. Quote Link to comment
Command Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Bro... Thank you. Appreciate you so much. WIll try what you said tomorrow (been rebuilding the machine). Quote Link to comment
Command Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So one more question: I guess it never makes sense to bind an HBA card? that should be done on the Unraid level and drives and shares are the mechanism for pass to VMs? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 2 minutes ago, Command said: I guess it never makes sense to bind an HBA card? It does if you want to use it in a VM, e.g. a TrueNAS VM, if it's for use with Unraid assigned disks it can't be bound. Quote Link to comment
Command Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Dude. It totally worked; in fact I didn't even have to flash the 16i Quote Link to comment
elnevera Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Thanks very much for these instructions! I just upgraded the firmware on my LSI SAS9211-8i and it went very well. Quote Link to comment
opentoe Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Is there a step by step someone can package up for me with all the necessary firmware files and BIOS files? I really forgot all that I learned years ago when I was doing the DELL PERC cards. 52 years old here and my memory does NOT retain what it use to, plus I'm starting to have issues with my eyes and it makes it that much difficult. The card I have is: Broadcom 9400-16I Tri-Mode 12Gb/s SAS HBA - 05-50008-00 Right now it's in a scrap windows box but can move it to my Linux Mint machine if easier. Quote Link to comment
opentoe Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) I took out my 3 Dell percs and just installed my LSI 9400 and video card and the machine never posted. I waited quite a long time. I'm positive it is not not one of those Chinese knock offs because I spoke to the owner and they get them right from Broadcom/LSI. This really blows.
