TheWombat Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hey, It's been a while so my memory is a little hazy. I'm not aware of a need to reflash to .21 if already on it. may be worth posting on the main forum (if you haven't already) and/or including your syslog if there are any specific messages being shown about the HDD. Also what make/model/size HDDs etc Wombat Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have a hazy recollection that for a while the cards may have been supplied with incorrectly flashed firmware, though I admit I may be mistaken and the problem cards may well have been something else entirely. The solution was for the user to re-flash them with the same version. This may jog someone else's memory. Quote Link to comment

I think your thinking about the sas2lp where the pci is changed and unraid wouldn't recognize them but reflashing changed the pci is to something that unraid did recognize.

koshia Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I wanted to post an update that I resolved my problem with the MV8. Summary: It was my fault - I did not fully understand SAS/Expander/Backplane connections. A supermicro technician educated me and now unRAID is working awesome! My post here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51319.0 Thank you for all the assistance. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fuggin Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Does anyone still have the "Firmware_3.1.0.15n" file? I can't find it anywhere. The SATA controller card thread link does not work. Quote Link to comment

Fuggin Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I am getting ready to do this...so I am nervous...however, I can't seem to get into the Marvell BIOS with ctrl-M....when it pops up, I hit it, but goes right into the boot sequence... Quote Link to comment

You may need to remove any other cards from the machine. For example I have an Intel network card in my machine, plus 2 SASLP cards and found that I had to remove the network card and one of the SASLP cards in order to boot into the bios. Alternatively if you have another PC e.g. a windows desktop you can temporarily put the SASLP into that and do the flash update since you use a separate boot OS. hth TheWombat Quote Link to comment
Fuggin Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Well...I am an idiot...so sorry for wasting your time. I have 3 AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 cards which are different than the SASLP obviously...I don't think the Raid disable steps for the SASLP would work for the SAS2LP (or would it?) They all have the same bios and I managed to install one at a time on my other desktop to disable the INT13 setting. Now...like other people on here...I can only get 2 to boot up at a time...when I go to add the 3rd card... (I have to remove the video card)....it hangs up but since I don't have a video card, I don't know where. I currently have a Fatal1ty 970 Performance motherboard. Would going with a ASUS TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 AM3+ ATX Motherboard (4 PCI-E slots..so I can still have the video card) work? Sigh... Edited June 7, 2017 by Fuggin Quote Link to comment
