Roger, I downgraded several different controllers on two different motherboards an= d=20 the procedure was the same other than on a SuperMicro motherboard I=20 used the .efi version of the sas2flsh binary and the on the other motherboa= rds=20 used the regular MSDOS sas2flsh binary under FreeDOS booted from USB. In both cases I used the sasl2flsh binary that came with the P20 firmware b= ut used the .bin and .rom files from the P19 zip file. Using the P20 sasl2fls= h=20 binary may be difference. I did not try the P19 binary to downgrade. >From my notes to downgrade I simply: sas2flsh -o -e6 <DONT REBOOT> sas2flsh -f <P19-file>.bin -b <p19-file>.rom The .bin and .rom files were from the unpacked P19 zip file. You can issue sas2flsh -listall after the downgrade and you should see that P19 was installed on the contro= ller. I have also downgraded 9212-4e4i cards like this from P20 My home machine which has a 9211-8i and 9212-4e4i looks like then in dmesg = running P19 mps0: <LSI SAS2008> port 0x5000-0x50ff mem 0xfd3fc000-0xfd3fffff,0xfd380000= -0xfd3bffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci11 mps0: Firmware: 19.00.00.00, Driver: 19.00.00.00-fbsd mps0: IOCCapabilities: 1285c<ScsiTaskFull,DiagTrace,SnapBuf,EEDP,TransRetry= ,EventReplay,HostDisc> mps0: attempting to allocate 1 MSI-X vectors (15 supported) mps0: attempting to allocate 1 MSI vectors (1 supported) mps0: using IRQ 257 for MSI mps1: <LSI SAS2008> port 0x6000-0x60ff mem 0xfd2fc000-0xfd2fffff,0xfd280000= -0xfd2bffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci19 mps1: Firmware: 19.00.00.00, Driver: 19.00.00.00-fbsd mps1: IOCCapabilities: 1285c<ScsiTaskFull,DiagTrace,SnapBuf,EEDP,TransRetry= ,EventReplay,HostDisc> mps1: attempting to allocate 1 MSI-X vectors (15 supported) mps1: attempting to allocate 1 MSI vectors (1 supported) mps1: using IRQ 258 for MSI I'm running FreeBSD 10.1-BETA3 #0 r272215: at home and using the cards with= ZFS - they work well. --mikej ________________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] O= n Behalf Of Roger Leigh [rleigh@codelibre.net] Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 5:30 PM To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: PCI-E SATA-III HBA for FreeBSD 10 On Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 04:36:08PM -0500, Michael Jung wrote: > Roger, > > Try P19 firmware in IT mode.

Ah, I can try that, thanks. Did you have to do anything special to downgrade? When I run sas2flsh (from a DOS USB drive), I get (with sas2flsh -o -f 2114it.bin -b mptsas2.rom): Cannot downgrade NVDATA version 14.00.00.06 to 11.00.110000.00. Are you selectively updating just 2114it.bin or mptsas2.rom? Or mixing and matching one from P19 and one from P20? Sorry if this is really obvious, but this is the first LSI HBA I've used. Managed to flash P20 OK, but downgrading seems trickier! Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
