** Boot services Driver Version - 7.02.03.00 ** This release package contains the files necessary to flash the Dell The key to success is to use precisely the mentioned version, although the author doesn't explain why, I wonder if he just was lucky when he tried. This process was described in a somewhat religious way here,

Once you have flashed the card with the IT version, you can use the more modern sas2flash versions to keep using IT firmware without problems.

Sas2flash will complain that it can't replace IR firmware with IT firmware, but there was a version which, apparently, had a useful bug/feature: it omits/ignores the checking. The Dell branded H200 cards can be repurposed to IT firmware. (although this is an off topic in this area…) #1 and #2 are viruses/malware and the Windows/Admin tag team. The number 3 issues at SMB is a failed drive in a crummy server with software RAID or a PERC that has no buzzer. IMHO SMB servers ALWAYS have a good hardware RAID card with a darn buzzer that will beep like hell till the failed drive is replaced. With VMware there is NO reason to keep buying Dell as they offer little to no management and are a pain in the butt for the SMB market. I also think they should sell the LSI SAS switch I really think iX Systems should sell JBOD shelves that we can buy without the fear the backplane firmware is going to kick our butt at some time. Good to know that the firmware I should inject is P16 as the latest firmware for that card at LSI is P20! ) What is the command to see what firmware is on a LSI card and what driver is in use? I have two older HP D元80 G6 boxes running older versions of FreeNAS and LSI 9211-8i cards. There are NO dell cards worth a darn that fit in that slot. The Dell storage slot is just a waste of time and money. I have done a LOT of cross flashing with this card, so I guess it is a cross flash and put it in a PCI slot. Well I was hoping to use the storage slot with a cross flash Perc H200, but I guess Dell is not playing nice, hence the reason why I am moving all our servers from Dell to HP or Generic Supermicro.
