I have read and followed the forums for a while, and this is my first post.
Server is a dell R510 with 12 disks in raid 10 running 9.2.1.5 booted from a thumb drive. I upgraded it to 9.3 and got the error that my LSI firmware did not match. I read posts listing to downgrade the HBA to V16 from V17 with 9.3 or to upgrade to 9.3.1 and then flash the card to V20. I have a replicated copy of the pools on a separate R515 unit running 9.2.1.5.
I wanted to ask if it was recommended to do the upgrade from 9.3 to 9.3.1 stable using the current firmware mismatch and then flash the 9211-8I to ver 20 firmware or is it recommended to do the V16 downgrade first so there are no errors and then update to 9.3.1 and then flash the card to V20? Any comments here on the path would be appreciated.
No data is being accessed from the pool by remote units, but they are mounted. I am keeping the server off until I have all this strait and I lay out the next steps. I assumed that I wanted to make sure that I am not scrubbing the data as to not corrupt anything also. I have been learning as I go. Thanks in advance.
