Seems storcli is a followup on MegaCli. So I just got the last one. A bit of a pain, since PKG does not do it, but it also does not tell you why. But you need to manually fetch the tar from Broadcom first. But then it works like a charm, actual upgrading whilest the system is running of that controller: root@quad-a:/usr/ports/sysutils/storcli # storcli /c0 download file=/tmp/smc3108.rom Download Completed. Flashing image to adapter... CLI Version = 007.1211.0000.0000 Nov 07, 2019 Operating system = FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT Controller = 0 Status = Success Description = F/W Flash Completed. Please reboot the system for the changes to take effect Current package version = 24.9.0-0022 New package version = 24.21.0-0100 Thanx, --WjW
