LSI 9207-8i BIOS question
I have two servers, both running Debian 12. Server 1 has a single LSI 9207-8i HBA and server 2 has 2, 9207-8i HBAs. All 3 HBAs are flashed to IT mode with the P20 firmware. What I can't figure out is how to delete the BIOS for the HBAs in server 2 (showing 07.39.02.00 for BIOS).
Code:
Server 1: dmesg|grep -i lsi Code:
Server 2: dmesg|grep -i lsi Code:
sas2flash -o -c 0 -e 5 Any ideas? |
Deleting BIOS is not done. You reprogram with a new BIOS. Otherwise you end up in Catch-22 powering up with no BIOS.

Right. Talk.
Exactly what have you got? Full details, links specs. You're asking a "How do I..." type question, using the word BIOS. The BIOS is the bit of the motherboard that starts a pc, but your model number seems to be talking about network cards. |

Link to the cards: https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12353331 I'm thinking it might be best if I post this on a storage specific forum (maybe over in the TrueNAS community) because it's not really a Linux issue, more so a HBA BIOS problem. Eh, you can safely ignore me :) ..... I appreciate the replies though! |
If you're working on the network cards, it's no BIOS you're trying to replace, it's firmware. And it is replaced on every boot. There should be a copy in /lib/firmware.
So grab the latest6 kernel firmware & reboo0t. If that doesn't work, join the specialist forum. |

I posted over in the TrueNAS forum and somebody replied with a possible solution. Just need set aside the time to try it. :) |
