[OmniOS-discuss] Dell H330 and mpt_sas on r151022

[Aries]

Thank you for replay.


Yes. AFAIK, the hardware of H330 should be as same as the LSI SAS3008.


But as it is an OEM Dell branded card with choppy firmware, sadly, it's not supported by the sas3flash utility.


Unlike the 2008 series, I cannot find a way to crossflash it to the IT firmware for the moment.


The PCI-id is 1000 005f which is a MegaRaid. 


Maybe I should go for a proper 3008 card or a Dell HBA330 card to save some time...


Cheers,
Aries

The H330 looks awfully like Broadcom/LSI's 9300-8i:

What happens when you sas3flash the Dell HBA with the LSI SAS3008
IT firmware?

Also, what's the PCI ID for the H330?
