LSI SAS HBAs (mps) utility

[Borja Marcos]

Hi

I don't think it has been covered in this list. Searching for the Holy Grail of disk identification I stumbled upon this:
https://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/Host%20Bus%20Adapters/Host%20Bus%20Adapters%20Common%20Files/SAS_SATA_6G_P12/SAS2IRCU_User_Guide.pdf

There is a FreeBSD command for the following LSI Logic controllers:


LSISAS2004
LSISAS2008
LSISAS2108
LSISAS2208
LSISAS2304
LSISAS2308


The  program is called sas2ircu, and it can be downloaded doing a search for HBAs, LSI SAS9211-8i, all asset  types,
and it can be found under "Miscellaneous", it's called SAS2IRCU_P18.

There are commands to show a list of controllers, show the configurations, etc.

Interestingly, the utility seems to be oriented to "IR" cards, *but* it can poke my "IT" card without issues. At least it can show me
a list of drives, together with the slots where the drives are plugged. *BUT* it doesn't seem to find the real slots. sigh.

Any other interesting utility I should be aware of?

Thanks!
