Here's a better link below.
I have seen enough bad things happen to pool devices when hardware is
changed or firmware is updated to recommend that the pool is exported
first, even an HBA firmware update.
Either shutting the system down (where pool is hosted) or exporting
the pool should do it.
We have a running zpool with a 12 disk raidz3 vdev in it ... we gave ZFS the
full, raw disks ... all is well.
However, we built it on two LSI 9211-8i cards and we forgot to change from IR
firmware to IT firmware.
Is there any danger in shutting down the OS, flashing the cards to IT firmware,
Hi Jason,
I have done this in the past. (3x LSI 1068E - IBM BR10i).
Your pool has no tie with the hardware used to host it (including your
HBA). You could change all your hardware, and still import your pool
correctly.
If you really want to be on the safe side; you can export your pool before
Ok, and your LSI 1068E also had alternate IR and IT firmwares, and you went
from IR - IT ?
Is that correct ?
Thanks.

Correct.
LSI 1068E has IR and IT firmwares + I have gone from IR - IT and IT - IR
without hassle.
