Correct SAS3008 firmware version for FreeNAS-11.1-U5?

[wafliron]

Is anyone able to advise the correct SAS3008 firmware version to use for FreeNAS-11.1-U5? My controller (embedded on a Supermicro X10SRH-CF, if that makes any difference) is currently using firmware 14.00.00.00, and it looks like the driver version in FreeNAS-11.1-U5 is 18.03.00.00:

Code:

mpr0: <Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS3008> port 0x5000-0x50ff mem 0xfd4f0000-0xfd4fffff,0xfd480000-0xfd4bffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5
mpr0: Firmware: 14.00.00.00, Driver: 18.03.00.00-fbsd

Somewhat confused, as my understanding was that the driver and firmware versions should match, but I was also under the impression that FreeNAS would warn you when there was a mismatch (and it's not throwing any warnings). Plus, as per https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9300-8i#downloads, the latest firmware appears to be 16.xx (no 18.xx available, to match the driver version).

Thanks in advance!

It used to. Then everyone lost track of this, LSI/Broadcom/Avago included, probably.

the latest firmware appears to be 16.xx (no 18.xx available, to match the driver version).

Don't worry too much about it, just use whatever is the latest.
