confusingboat / flash-it Goto Github PK

Ran the script (Debian buster, dell r220), and things kind of went OK - there was a failure at one point, and when it was attempting to reset/rescan, it ended up killing/freezing my SSH, and things were also hard looked up in the IDRAC console. A downside, also, was because of the reset I lost all of the backups in /tmp. However, I hard rebooted, and I think it actually works. The OS can see connected drivers, and the Dell bios/firmware no longer recognizes it as a RAID controller.

The only thing I cannot get working is using an attached drive as a boot device. Is there any way to do this? I have read with other methods that this is generally the flash just firmware vs firmware and bios back (using sas2flash). Figured I would at least see if this is possible with lsirec.

Hello,

I just tried to flash my H310 with the script from the Debian Live and run into some problem because I didn't boot with iomem=relaxed flag (Yes, my bad for not reading the instructions). Anyway, I downloaded your SBR restore script, run it and it said that everything is rolled back.

BUT after reboot with the right flag, I cant see the H310 anymore. Script didn't find the SAS address and even when I starting my server (R720) I can see S110 instead of H310. What should I do to fix it?

sudo opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpAllInfo -a0

                                     
User specified controller is not present.
Failed to get CpController object.

Exit Code: 0x01

Thank you for your help.

I guess the output format of lspci verbose changed and the script stops with

Could not retrieve PCI address from lspci

man lspci suggest to use the -m flag for machine readable output

To properly work on Ubuntu 18.04.3 live out of the box, one shall add:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe to /apt/sources.list

and

run on the root folder with cd /

We have tested this script with an IBM ServeRAID M1015 card in a Huawei RH2288v2 server.

Ubuntu 18.04 LXDE Live (NetbootXYZ)
Changed the ADAPTER_PATTERN to "M1015"

Works without issues.

Hi,

We tested the script with the H200E in a Dell R510.
Changed the ADAPTER_PATTERN to "H200"

No issues found.

Instead of relying on a static .cfg file for the SBR modification, alter the necessary values in the one pulled off the device.

Server: Dell R720XD
Card: Dell H310(Full Size PCI Card, this is not mini monolithic card)

Issue:
Every time I run script, it says

Could not retrieve PCI address from lspci, attempting to load from existing backup file.

I tried manually as well https://i.imgur.com/dT5l1tV.png

Ubuntu 18.04(installed on USB) booted in BIOS mode, tried with UEFI, same issue. I tried running live Ubuntu as well.

Title says it all, test resetting the device before making any changes to the adapter.

Prompted by #23

Pretty sure I followed directions, but stuff happened...
From the very first step of erasing data, it said "erasing failed" and it continued to fail throughout.

I was booted on Ubuntu LTS usb drive. Ran the scripts, when I noticed it failed, I did a restore, said successful.

The H310 mini mono was latest dell firmware if it makes a difference.

Bummer.. The error I get at boot says "needs to be reflashed" and "verification failed".

Title says it all. Support other adapters like the H200 without having to change the script. This issue mostly pertains to the device selection portions of the script, but also depends on #1 .

Would be nice if this weren't dependent on bash and apt specifically.

the readme can be updated

Used flash-it as described.
Process exited on waiting for IOC stage.
Now trying to reflash it back.

I bought a h200 off ebay, turns out it was pre-flashed to IR mode which caused the card to not get recognized by script and gets stuck at the part where it is grabbing the SAS address of the card.

Hi. I am getting the error Line 105 megacli64 not found. Is there a solution to this. Been stuck here for days. I gave tried using ubuntu live, centOS and also ubuntu desktop on a Dell R720.

Thanks in advance

The lsirec tool seems to be incompatible with hardware I/O MMUs and standard iommu settings on most recent Ubuntu Kernels. I had to disable I/O MMU in UEFI before I could successfully update my SAS card. The iommu=soft GRUB command line should work, too. You may want to mention the trick in your documentation.

PS: Thanks for your tool. 👍

First of all, thanks for taking your time and effort to make this script!

I have a Dell r320 with a PERC H310 Mini Monolithic and I have run the script from a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS live USB and I get the following error:

Any idea of what has happend?

Please let me know if you need additional information or the complete console output.

This may already work or be close, but I have not tested it. Adapter index selection for part of the script is hard-coded to the first one, so currently it will only operate on the lowest-indexed device.

This issue is mostly relevant for other cards, which is another issue in itself (#2).
