That card looks like it is based on the SAS2008 controller, which means that you need to locate the latest IT (Initiator Target) Mode firmware for it, and use sas2flash (If I recall correctly) off a bootable USB stick or similar to flash the controller with that firmware. Here is a guide that explains how to flash a LSI2008 that is on-board on a motherboard; adapt to your situation as needed: http://www.servethehome.com/howto-flash-supermicro-x8si6f-lsi-sas-2008-controller-lsi-firmware/ Regards, Krunal Desai Hardware Engineer _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
