Firmware update: LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-4 and 150-6

Spread the love

LSI Logic has a new firmware and BIOS release for its intelligent Serial ATA RAID adapters. Version 712T provides several bug fixes and improvements, including support for SMART. The firmware is suitable for the MegaRAID SATA 150-4 and 150-6, but cannot be used on the MegaRAID SATA 150-2 host-based RAID adapter:

Reason for Release

SATA FW re-based with latest PCIRAID stream.

Bug Fixes

1) Data corruption on SATA controller when running LinFlash and TarTest I/O utility.
2) User is able to Create/Delete LD while CC/GBI is active.
3) Data retention test fails in manufacturing test.
4) An issue was seen in a new group of controllers where certain boards would hang during testing. It was determined that these controllers had faulty DIMM modules that would cause both single and multi-bit ECC errors. Multi-bit errors can produce unpredictable results on a controller. When a location with a multi-bit error is read, the agent reading the memory receives a target-abort and the data returned is all FFs. As detailed above, the effects of this condition can cause a wide range of problems to occur, but most will result in a firmware hang.
5)PD table size/status field is getting corrupted, when the device type is Safte Processor.

Enhancements

1) A new Drive failure reason is added, when the user aborts Rebuild.

2) SMART support is enabled for SATA drives. Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (the SMART feature set) is to protect user data and minimize the likelihood of unscheduled system downtime that may be caused by predictable degradation and/or fault of the device.

3) SMART support is enabled for SATA drives. Background Initialization should be brought back to the
original functional model: ie it should run only in the cases which is required, that is to say only for R5
(or R50) that has 5 or more physical disks. In any other case it is unnecessary and should not run
