PERC 6/I uses the MegaSAS driver. SAS 6/iR uses the mptsas driver.

Unfortunately this did nothing for the driver versions of my PERC 6/i
controller. Following the instructions I could build and install the
newer version of the mptsas module and checking with "modinfo mptsas" 
confirms that it worked as advertised on btm's blog. However "omreport
storage controller" still reports 

State                                         : Degraded
Driver Version                                : 00.00.03.20-rc1
Minimum Required Driver Version               : 00.00.03.21

Did I miss anything here or does that procedure simply not apply to the
PERC 6/i controllers?
