I have been able to flash to the LSI IR firmware. Check here for HBA equivalency: - I'm sure you could find a cheap one either on eBay or elsewhere on the net. When I purchased my disks about 1.5yrs back, the maths was simple with everyone dumping the 1TB WD RE3 and seagate enterprise drives for 2TB drives and that you can flash to their IT mode (of course it also needs to be supported by your choice of OS too). Yeah - sorry I can't help with the >2TB testing. The upside of all that is I don't need to stress about getting the 1068e running instantly anymore! Hopefully LSI will have released that C0 firmware by the time I actually need it. Anyhow, I've turned off everything possible in the Sun's bios (mainly including the onboard HDD controllers, audio, 2nd LAN, serial ports, etc.), and have managed to get the system up and running as required. Through my efforts to get the 1068e flashed, I came across a post indicating that the ROM of the mainboard may be insufficient to load both LSI card bios' and everything the motherboard bios was also trying to load (seemed legit as I could boot off either card but it failed to boot when both were installed). Off topic but an interesting aside: The reason I picked up this 1068e card was that for some reason my 2x 1064e cards stopped playing nicely together when I moved them into a new home (Sun Ultra 40 workstation being used as a home file server) - and that I still needed 8x SATA connections. The change notes do seem to indicate support for 2TB LUNS and greater from firmware 2.72 ( ) but as IBM's firmware seems to lag LSI's unless the C0 chip does something magical, I'm still skeptical. Unfortunately I don't have any 3TB's to test with (I'm still stuck back in the 1TB land of yesteryear ). The normal flashable ones (B3 chip) appear to be FRU 44E86 88. Note Card is labeled as an "IBM ServeRaid BR10i SAS3082E-R RAID Controller 44E86 90". although I'm trying to modify to IT firmware so this probably won't help anyway! Unfortunately an update using the latest IBM firmware (2.74) also fails - possibly a dependency I'm missing. sasflash -c 1 -o -f 3081ETB3.fw -b mptsas.rom All rights reserved.Įxecuting Operation: Flash Firmware ImageĮRROR: The Firmware Image is for a 106e b3 LSI SAS Controller,īut the target adapter is a 106e c0 LSI SAS Controllerĭue to error remaining commands will not be executed.Īccording to my google searches, there is no "C0" version of this card listed on the LSI website, and there is not a compatible firmware file in the package I downloaded.
