I can ask the provider if they can install some card. Do you have some recommendation? What is supported by Dell and FreeBSD for ZFS? I really appreciate your help! Kind regards Miroslav Lachman

Is this expected in case of S130? I would really like to fulfil the client needs and run FreeBSD on it. But These R6515 are too new too me. The last PowerEdge I have in hand was R610 / T20. Both working fine with FreeBSD. Miroslav Lachman

I cannot flash anything on it.Apologies for the late reply. Unfortunately $JOB requires me to $WORK. :( OK Given these are rentals. Probably the most I could supply for your needs are images that allow you to poll, and change settings of the controller(s). I have cd9660, and USB flash images of the utilities for the 100-300 series HBAs as provided by LSI/AvGO. They boot to (MS)DOS, or to an (U)EFI prompt. Having read what I can; the S150 controller is Software controlled (likely explaining the "S" in it's model number), and as I understand it *shouldn't* require any flashing. As I also understand you *should* be able to access control of it through UEFI configs. I *think* accessed via F2. Apologies if this comes too late, or you've already solved this. If you're still interested in the management software I have for the 100-300 series. Let me know, and I'll attach a copy, or provide a link for you as needed. --Chris> > I can ask the provider if they can install some card. Do you have some > recommendation?
