Hi All,
I am having issues with LSI SAS HBA's
I had a HP DL380g6 running two 921x-8i HBA's with BIOS enabled
I added a 9201-16e
I had all kinds of issues upgrading from 9.10 to 11.1 and 11.2, the only way I was able to get the upgrade to work was disable the cards in the BIOS, yank all the drives and boot off the sata port. I am running in VMware so when crash I mean purple screen of death for VMware. I do have a screen shot of the FreeNAS console where it hangs, then I tell VMware to reboot and I get the pruple screen. That is not what I need help with, I am over that.
I used sas2flsh -c 0 -o -e 5 to erase the bios from all three cards and I can boot and reboot without any crashing, the thing I am missing is the 9201-16e is not showing the 12 drives. When I had the BIOS enabled I could see the first 4 drives when I had them plugged in. I had this HP D2600 working for months in a Lenovo TS140 with just ONE HBA. So I know the hardware is functional.
Is there a tunable that tell's FreeBSD to look for card #3?
FreeNAS 11.2-u1 with firmware p20 on the LSI cards, I do see at boot up it is loading version 21 of the driver, do you think I should upgrade all 3 HBA's to firmware 21?
Thanks,
Joe
