[trimmed fw upgrade notes]
As a final test I plan to boot the actual server with this card and 3 sacrificial
disks (now all zeroed) attached, to confirm that nothing is written to the disks.
I installed the card with three disks that were zeroed and booted a fedora 26. I saw the disks OK.
I rebooted the machine (removing the disks) and then checked all disks and they were still zeroed.
I am ready to commission this controller after next week's backup, but would still like answers to
some questions.
Q1) I did not flash a rom file, do I need to do so (with the IT fw)?
Q2) The upgrade changed the SAS Address, should I reprogram the original address?
Q3) Below are the relevant messages from the test, do they look good?
Is the "overriding NVDATA EEDPTagMode setting" OK?
cheers
