I've just updated the SAS2 card bios and firmware to the latest, so lets see what happens when I reboot... A, that fixed it :-/ for future reference... 9211_8i_Package_P14_IR_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows\Firmware\HBA_9211_8i_IR\2118ir.bin and 9211_8i_Package_P14_IR_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows\sasbios_rel\mptsas2.rom flashed using Installer_P14_for_Linux\sas2flash_linux_i686_x86-64_rel\sas2flash (the linux package3 doesn't include the firmware, so you need to download the windows package too). the IR firmware supports raid while the IT firmware is just a jbod HBA. my cards were already "IR" even though I'm not using that feature, so I saw no reason to force the restricted firmware on them. to flash it after you collect the files you need: # chmod +x sas2flash # ./sas2flash -b mptsas2.rom . # ./sas2flash -fwall 2118ir.bin resulting versions are... # ./sas2flash -listall LSI Corporation SAS2 Flash Utility Version 10.00.00.00 (2011.05.13) Copyright (c) 2008-2011 LSI Corporation.
