Hello out there. I have a bunch of Fujitsu PRAID400i Controller from some servers we switch= to FreeBSD driven systems and ZFS. I will not use RAID controllers with ZFS s= o I tried to cross flash these controllers, but without any success. The DOS t= ools I use produce on several mainboards a PAL error. The motherboard's UEFI I uitilise doesn't provide a UEFI shell, so at that point it seems I'm stuck= . I found the FreeBSD port storcli, but the tool doesn't crossflash - or it do= esn't reveal its magic knobs to do so. The sas3flash FreeBSD binary imag from Broadcom https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9300-8i doesn't recognize the test adapter (the adapters seem to have different st= ages of firmware brandings, some from 2015 do have Avago, other, newer from 201= 9, seem to be branded with Broadcom): pciconf -lvbc mrsas0@pci0:1:0:0: class=3D0x010400 rev=3D0x02 hdr=3D0x00 vendor=3D0x= 1000 device=3D0x005f subvendor=3D0x1734 subdevice=3D0x1211 vendor =3D 'Broadcom / LSI' device =3D 'MegaRAID SAS-3 3008 [Fury]' class =3D mass storage subclass =3D RAID bar [10] =3D type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xe000, size 256, enabled bar [14] =3D type Memory, range 64, base 0xfb300000, size 65536, ena= bled bar [1c] =3D type Memory, range 64, base 0xfb200000, size 1048576, e= nabled cap 01[50] =3D powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 10[68] =3D PCI-Express 2 endpoint max data 256(4096) FLR NS max read 512 link x4(x8) speed 8.0(8.0) ASPM disabled(L0s) cap 05[a8] =3D MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks cap 11[c0] =3D MSI-X supports 97 messages, enabled Table in map 0x14[0xe000], PBA in map 0x14[0xf000] ecap 0001[100] =3D AER 2 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 1 corrected ecap 0019[1e0] =3D PCIe Sec 1 lane errors 0 ecap 0004[1c0] =3D Power Budgeting 1 ecap 0016[190] =3D DPA 1 ecap 000e[148] =3D ARI 1 The sas3flash utility reports: # /tmp/Installer_P16_for_FreeBSD/sas3flash_freebsd_amd64_rel/sas3flash Avago Technologies SAS3 Flash Utility Version 17.00.00.00 (2018.04.02) Copyright 2008-2018 Avago Technologies.
