LSI Driver Version for 9.3

[mattlach]

Hey all,

I read through the release notes, and there was no mention of the LSI SAS driver version for this release.

I was expecting it to be updated to 17, based on some comments I read on these forums prior to release.

The reason I am asking, is it has been suggested to me that it is very important to match LSI driver and Firmware versions, and I am not quite sure how I poll the driver version currently used. I am a Linux guy, and BSD just just slightly different enough that it throws me for a loop, and simple things take much longer than they should.

So, did the driver get updated to 17? Nothing in my FreeNAS 9.3 dmesg complains about mismatched drivers, and I vaguely recall that being the case the last time I wound up with mismatched driver and firmware.

Much obliged,
Matt

Never mind,

I did some more digging in dmesg, and found this:
mps0: Firmware: 16.00.00.00, Driver: 16.00.00.00-fbsd
mps1: Firmware: 16.00.00.00, Driver: 16.00.00.00-fbsd

So, it looks like the driver version stayed the same, and I am all set!

Version 16 is the driver in this release and the alert system should notify you if you're running anything besides v16.

Ahh, thank you.

Is this new? I don't recall the alert system being triggered by this in the past.

It went in late in the 9.2.1.x series: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4988.
