LSI HBA Serial Number / Board Tracer Number

[EponymousOne]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to get the serial number that's printed on the sticker on the board using a tool like sas2flash.

For some reason, when I tried the sas2flash program (in DOS - probably archaic) it just says "N/A" next to the Board Tracer Number which is where I understand the serial of the board should be printed.

Does anyone know anything else I can try short of taking out the device from the server again? Does anyone know why it says "N/A"?

Thanks.

try an efi boot disk also FreeNAS has sas2flash built in.

The easier way is to use either sas2flash or sas2ircu (or mpsutil or whatever it's called), which are included in FreeNAS. IIRC, sas2flash -listall is what you need.

It's actually just sas2flash -list

The output with my 9207 8i card listed the Board Tracer Number (the bios were not erased)

My M1015 card however, doesn't list this number (the bios was erased from this card)
