Lg H810 Firmware

[Henrietta Naughton]

ThoseMD units expect a strict behavior from the drives. Although the drives are identical hardware-wise, Dell has optimized the firmware for tolerances like timeouts. If a drive does not reply to a RAID controller request within a strict time limit, the controller removes the drive from the array as a precaution. This gives the appearance of drives failing that are actually fine, hardware-wise. The firmware tweaks help ensure the proper behavior.

This guide allows you to crossflash 12th gen Dell Mini Mono & full size cards to LSI IT firmware. Mini Mono refers to the small models that fit in the dedicated "storage slot" on Dell servers. Because iDRAC checks the PCI vendor values of cards in this slot before allowing the server to boot, the generic full-size PERC crossflashing guides do not apply. This guide however solves that issue. Technical explanation for those curious. The following cards are supported:

Better Performance: the plain LSI IT firmware in this guide drastically increases the max queue depth of the adapter. For instance on the H310 Mini, it goes from 25 with the stock Dell RAID firmware to 600 with the LSI IT firmware. This can mean drastic improvements in IOPS with heavy SSD configurations for example.

Different Driver: The stock Dell firmware (MegaRAID-based) uses the MegaRAID driver in Linux/FreeBSD/etc. In some distributions this can cause issues, for example FreeNAS has issues pulling SMART data from drives connected to a MegaRAID controller. After crossflashing to IT mode, the card is used by the OS via the much simpler mpt3sas driver.

Ensure there is only one LSI-based adapter in your system. If there are others besides the adapter you intend to flash, remove them! You also need to disable a few BIOS settings. This step is not optional. In your server BIOS, disable all of the following:

When you're finished with this guide, don't forget to go back and enable Virtualization, as well as SR-IOV if you plan to use it. Switch boot mode back to UEFI as well if you were using it previously. But only once you've finished the guide!

Remove the RAID battery from the adapter. The IT firmware has no cache for the battery to back, in fact the IT firmware will have no clue the battery is there if you leave it connected. To make matters worse, in rare cases some people observed the battery holding old Dell code in the card's RAM and it made their crossflash process a pain. Just unplug/remove the battery and store it somewhere in case you return to Dell firmware.

Remove all drives connected to the PERC. This typically means any drives in the front of the server in the hot swap bays. If you forget to do this, the flashing process won't touch them or alter them, but having them connected can cause the flash process to fail and you'll be left wondering why. So pull the caddies for now!

Download the ZIP below which contains two ISOs. One is a FreeDOS live image, the other is a Debian live image. Both come prepackaged with all the required tools and files, and they can be booted either via iDRAC virtual media or by burning them to a flash drive via Rufus in WIndows, using dd in Linux, or your favorite flashing utility - up to you. If you use Ventoy, make sure to boot the FreeDOS image in memdisk mode.

On your screen, the output will probably have Perc before the names listed above - that's normal. After Perc, if it displays anything that doesn't exactly match the above choices, contact me with a screenshot. If you're impatient and pick the "closest one" instead, you'll brick your card.

iDRAC does not expect to see a PERC card running LSI firmware - this will cause the iDRAC to no longer see the drive temperatures. In some cases, this will cause the error PCI3018 in the Lifecycle Log, and the fans will be set to a static speed of about 30%. The fan speed acts as a failsafe to prevent any disks from possibly overheating.

If you are affected by this and would like the fan behavior to return to normal, you can disable the ThirdPartyPCIFanResponse feature by using IPMItool or RACADM. IPMItool is built into the live image so this will usually be the easiest option. If you don't want to use the Linux live ISO, you can use the RACADM option to disable it via SSH.

The main difference between the B0 and D1 revisions are link speeds: D1 will link at PCIe 3.0 instead of PCIe 2.0. This will almost certainly never cause a bottleneck, as you'll hit the processing limits of the SAS chipset before you run into the 20gbps full duplex bandwidth of a 4x PCIe 2.0 slot. The difference with the P cards (H710P) is more cache (1GB vs 512MB), but this is totally irrelevant when running the card flashed to IT mode as the cache is not used.

Regardless, since they're the same price used, you may as well grab the D1 revision. Note that many ebay sellers just stick popular part numbers in the listing title, so try to verify in the actual auction images that the label states the correct part number. Note that most sellers omit the leading 0 so you'll get more results doing the same:

On our DL4000 server administrator and in the RR Console we're getting alerts that both the H710 and H810 controllers have outdated firmware and drivers. Dell's site not longer has these and it references getting driver updates from Quest. However, I can software updates for RR but cannot find any hardware firmware or driver update's to download. Does anyone have clue to where this is now located ?

So it turns out that is very possible by cross-flashing the DELL PERC H710 firmware to LSI IT firmware.

Why is this so important? Because ZFS wants HBA, JBOD.

IT mode stands for "initiator target". It presents each drive individually to the host.

HBA is the term Passthru simply implies a RAID card that is not performing any RAID activity on a drive and is often also known as HBA mode. In Passthru mode drives are presented by the RAID card for discovery just as if it was an HBA, and IO to those drives bypasses most RAID functionality.
