Not sure if MegaRAID will work with this card - if it does, you really want it..even though it has an actively user-hostile interface. mark

[CentOS] Slow RAID Check/high %iowait during check after updgrade from CentOS 6.5 -> CentOS 7.2
LSI/Avago?s web pages don?t have any downloads for the SAS2308, so I think I?m out of luck wrt MegaRAID. Bounced the node, confirmed MPT Firmware 15.10.09.00-IT. HP Driver is v 15.10.04.00. Both are the latest from HP. Unsure why, but the module itself reports version 20.100.00.00: [root at r1k1 sys] # cat module/mpt2sas/version 20.100.00.00 On 2016-05-25, 3:20 PM, "centos-bounces at centos.org on behalf of m.roth at 5-cent.us" <centos-bounces at centos.org on behalf of m.roth at 5-cent.us> wrote:>John R Pierce wrote: >> On 5/25/2016 11:44 AM, Kelly Lesperance wrote: >>> The HBA is an HP H220. >> >> OH. its a very good idea to verify the driver is at the same revision >> level as the firmware. not 100% sure how you do this under CentOS, my >> H220 system is running FreeBSD, and is at revision P20, both firmware >> and driver.

Call HP tech support and open a ticket with them - they might have an answer. mark
