Hi All

 

PLEASE HELP!!!

I now have the opportunity to borrow a LSI SAS9305-24i card (JUST FOR TESTING) and replace it with my LSI Logic SAS 9201-16i

(I currently use this 16i + 8 x sata on the MB cabled to = 2 x  Mini-SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 on the back plane)

 

So this should have native IT mode (As standard) and be able to replace the existing SATA ports currently used on my MB (8 x sata)

But I had to see if the Firmware was updated and looks like it is...

 

BUT I can not remember if I need to change anything else in the config tool?

I was looking to remove any boot options to drives? - Unraid don't need this (Just a bunch of drives) - BIOS is just access to the Bios of the card right?

 

Also there was some options to display during boot of the drives....

 

And do I have to set "Removeable Media Support" to get Hot Swap functionality of my drives like I have today?

 

Sorry this is so long time I tinkered with a LSI card (They just work!)

Don't need to change anything in the BIOS, you don't even need a BIOS.

So I need to do nothing...?

Wouldn't it just be the right thing to do? (Setting boot : Disabled skipping this every time I reboot the server)

And is hoot-swap working if I don't set the "removable media support" to YES?

And do I get all the drives listed during boot if I don't set any info

Sorry I was just sure I did something on the old controller?

Yep.

Yep.

And no changes I "could" have done will make any difference to how its used in Unraid

(Yes did the above changes, so maybee reset it to default values)

 

I don't know what you changed, best to reset to default.
