SOLVED IBM ServeRaid M1015 and "No LSI SAS adapters found!"

[Spearfoot]

When I run that command on the supermicro I get the "No LSI SAS adapters found!" message.
Megarec can still see the card at this point, and I can still run commands on it successfully.

I've had no luck so far getting the dos stick to run on the Asus board or my other PC

Drat! It Ought To Just Work! :D

What is the timestamp and file size of sas2flsh.exe? Also, what version does sas2flsh.exe show when you run it?

EDIT: I'm wondering if you have an old/outdated version of sas2flsh.exe.

I'm in class for the next couple hours. This is where I found the utilities:

When I get home I can check, but if you happen to know off the top of your head if that's outdated, thatd be great.

Yeah, that's pretty old. The version of sas2flsh.exe in my M1015 zip file (available above in this thread) is 20.00.00.00 from 2014. Try that version and see if you have better luck.

I just realized that you had included one.
Ran that with no luck.

As you can see sas2flsh doesn't see it but megarec does.

Megarec reports you have a type 2108V board... which isn't an LSI-9211/9220/IBM M1015 -- it's a 9260/9280/IBM M5015 or similar!

Ah. well that would explain a lot. I specifically purchased a 9220, I guess they're getting back a board with no firmware then!

Thank you for your help!

Hey guys and gals!

Great tutorials. These helped me a lot! Now, I've got a bit of an issue. I had to use the megarec to wipe my LSI 9223-8i (IBM something blah blah).

I followed the tutorial and flashed everything correctly, however with using megarec it wipes the SAS ID or something of that sort.

I tried the following command: sas2flash.efi -0 -sasadd <sas#foundoncardhere>, however it spits out; "ERROR: Invalid command -0". I'm fairly new to this sort of thing, and I've been struggling tremendously to get this to work. So, I removed the -0, and it popped up saying "Operation not found: 000000000500000F" Unable to Process Commands.

What did I do wrong?

Well, I figured it out. I was typing -0 instead of -o because someone messed up in a tutorial!
