Dear Good People of serverbuilds.net,
I flash my MegaRAID LSI SAS-9266-8i RAID controller with latest Mega Firmware found here broadcom.com using storcli64. Everything went fine However, it seems there is no RAID6 available. Not sure what went wrong but this is what i did:
Code:
storcli64 /c0 download file=mr2208fw.rom noverchk
storcli64 /c0 set factory defaults
storcli64 /c0 restart
Also I search the forums and tried to flash the controller using dos and MegaREC without any luck.
here is the output of “storcli64 /c0 show all”
