Hey there!
I am trying to set up a used HP DL180 G6 using a HP H220 SAS HBA flashed to P20 LSI/BC-Firmware. While it seems to work, as in it installed and i can use the disks, i am still facing a rather weird issue:
The slots in the system are ordered like this:
0 2 4 6
1 3 5 7
And when i use sas2ircu to flash uid it works and the numbers used by sas2ircu fit the above mapping. However the disks don't. It's all crossed - a disk in physical slot 3 is seen by sas2ircu as being in slot 0. So whenever disk 2 gets used, the light for disk 1 flashes. I switched the SAS cables, but that just switches order on the 2 2x2 boxes - the weird crossing between actual slots/disks and leds/sas2ircu stays.
I remember the old controller (P410) that i ditched in favor of the H220 did not have this weird issue.
There is nothing on the disks yet, so i still can change stuff without risking data.
Don't know what is wrong, i don't even know if this is more of a cosmetic issue, or rather a symptom of something seriously wrong.
Maybe i flashed something wrong. The H220's bios nags me about it not being able to read some NVDATA, no idea what that's about.
