exe, and then execute the program commands. You open Command Prompt, navigate to the path of the. Thats exactly the behavior to be expected. It doesn't sound like an installer, it sounds like you're executing the shell program. And i'm fairly familiar with windows drive management snap-in. Wizard linked the LSI controller management software, it doesn't actually do any of the work. that i'll probably attach an SSD too for caching files in the future ] I have 12 Front bays and only 6 MOBO SATA ports, i run them in sets of 4 (though i'll likely leave one bay each empty for a while), 1 set of 4 is off the mobo anyway, leaving only 2 SATA ports unconnected. installer did pretty much the same thing as the other utility i tried, opend cmd promt, then immediately closed it again. and the 9211 is not a supported controller. >some digging later> found it on broadcom's site with a sitewide search. The download link doesn't seem to go to a page to DL "StorCLI". I'm sure you could just add the path under the Windows PATH as well though in Advanced System Settings > Environment Variablesĭidn't see any CLI files in the program files. I think mine was under Program Files, but I moved the files into System32 for ease of just opening a cmd window and not needing to change directory.

It's normally part of the driver installation package so you might already have it installed and just need to find where it is. If its anything like the RAID cards e.g mines a 9271-8i, then you can use StorCLI64 which replaced MegaCLI. If you keep track of that you should be able to recover the array even of the OS or boot drive just strait-up fail. It's common for arrays to have encryption, or encryption keys.

Good software should give you the option to import arrays. You do not necessarily have to use windows included RAID software but a third party software. Though particularly for home use in a Windows environment I'd look into a software solution like Electronics Wizardry mentioned. Desktop and server motherboards commonly have some form of hardware RAID support. If this is a very simple RAID1 of 2 or 3 drives I don't see why you have an HBA to begin with other than expandability. Both have their pros & cons and which is "better" is dependent on application. Hardware RAID vs Software RAID there is no definitive better.

I would ask though why/how a software RAID (I'm only using raid 1/mirror with 2-3 disks) is better than a hardware raid? personally, i don't trust windows to recover a raid if the origin OS install should ever fail and need to be replaced/reinstalled. I definately would get a battery-capable adapter in a corprate production environment.
I understand the concern for the HBA not having a battery, But it's for home use on a system with an UPS with a runtime of ~20min, and i'm pretty much the only user, system auto-shuts down when battery low anyway.
Is this a common failure mode? No, but I still wouldn't want to chance it. Would I personally flash an HBA to use hardware RAID? No, I'd either buy a proper card or use the HBA in a software RAID config. Without power if a block wasn't fully written to the array it will cause corruption. In the result of catastrophic power failure you're at the mercy of the controller to not screw up the array. Upgrading bios: data loss? (wouldn't see why it would, but can see it possible)Įven if you did flash the frimware to give you RAID support AFAIK it doesn't have any onboard memory so it'd have to share system memory or not temporarily store the data at all which is even worse.

| > I have replied to this thread to find out how their upgrade went. how do i download a copy of the current firmware off the card? (since if the new version for w/e reason doesn't work, it's not available online anywhere i can find) (closest listed page on broadcom's site is the 9210 I've also considered upgrading the firmware on the device, but i'm really skeptical of doing so since none of the current support info webpages actually list this exact card as compatable.

I was thinking like someway to locally ssh or telnet in, but i have no idea how to flash a card from within windows without a working tool from a manufacturer. I've looked up some stuff from broadcom (new parent company of LSI), but none of the programs or files i downloaded and tried to install appeared to do anything. Is there a way i can manage my LSI HBA RAID Controller from within windows server 2016 environment? (rebooting into BIOS is tedious and seems quite unnecessary to me just to add a hot spare or new drive configs (not removing existing arrays).)
