Hello everyone,
I have an HP Z600 that is used as home server with VMware ESXi 8.0 installed. I also have a separate Truenas Mini appliance as a storage and the idea was to virtualize one more Truenas instance.
For this purpose I ordered pre-flashed LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS...
Hi
Im in the middle of a build, which has been a long story, which I'd rather not go in too much detail with here (it upsets my blood pressure :) ) - unless there's a real need for it.
Roughly put, I have an ESX build, and a IBM M5015 raid card. After much time invested, and in the end...
So I have recently rebuilt my freenas server to utilize it for virtualization in addition to storage. I also recently purchased an HP MSA 70 storage enclosure which supports dual port SAS storage, upon researching it HP says it only open VMS and hp-ux support dual Port drives. I however am...
Hi, this is my first server build.
My hardware:
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2172
RAM: 32 GB Samsung REG 2666
MB: Supermicro X11SCL-F
HBA: LSI MegaRAID 9211-8i SAS
HDD: 6 x WD Red Nas 4TB
SSD: 1 x Intel 80GB
The LSI card was given to me and should already be in IT mode.
I checked that the MB BIOS was...
Hallo!
Ich habe hier einen LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA im IT Mode P20. Wenn ich den auf den ersten PCI Slot des Supermicro X11SSM-F stecke (die ersten beiden Slots werden auf dem Board als CPU SLOT PCI-E 3.0 gekennzeichnet) - funktioniert der nicht (Endlosschleife bei der Initialisierung). Erst auf dem...
Hello,
I have the following setup,
Dell T30 server transplanted in a Fractal Define R6 case
ESXi 6.7 installed on a flash drive.
FreeNAS (FreeBSD 11.1) running in ESXi
x8 WD 8TB red drives connected via an LSI 9211-8i (8 port) HBA raid controller in IT mode.
I already have an existing...
Hi all,
I've got an ASUS P9D-E/4L (latest BIOS) motherboard which has three LSI 9211 card in it (flashed to IT with the P20 ROM & BIOS Package).
All my drives including the boot SSD are connected to these cards and I'm not using the onboard controller. I have enough slots so why not :)
All...
My used HW: USB stick + Desktop PC (not the server board) with a motherboard Asus P9X79 WS (hosting i7-3930K + 16GB RAM but it doesn’t matter). The motherboard shall support UEFI version >=1.0 and be able to access USB from BIOS/EFI shell.
Step-by-step procedure:
Insert the controller card in...
I really enjoy building FreeNAS systems, and have put together quite a few machines, for for myself, for fun, and for friends/fam.
After initial trial-and-error, all builds are now similar: SuperMicro board, one or two Dell or IBM controllers as LSI 9211-8i in IT mode, and a couple of hard...
Ok, so I have followed the numerous guides out there on flashing the IBM M1015 card to the IT firmware. In fact, I have even done it previously once, a while ago on another box, it worked exactly as all the other tutorials suggested, a made notes of exactly what I did and it mirrors all the...

I have a server with an LSI 9211-IT HBA, Intel 910 SSD, and Chelsio NIC. I was updating the HBA firmware. As usual I checked no other RAID/HBA/LSI cards in the machine, so I flashed the HBA.
It now turns out that the Intel 910 uses the same chip internally -...
I've got a 9211-8i on my new build (9.10). I found it had the old outdated firmware, got the latest fw (P20) from Avago (2118it.bin), and managed to mount a USB stick with the file on it, under FAT32. I used sas2flash -fwall <mnt_path>/2118it.bin to update it, which part-worked. What I get now...
Solution: Will be written here once I reboot into the HBA Setup Utility to see what the settings were that I changed to make it work. See the other posts, there are a few different solutions.
