Hi, we just got our 1st DELL Server with the new DELL Controller Series (H730, H730P, H330 ..)
and have now a lot of trouble with this system. It is a DELL R430 with a PERC H730 Controller.
During the Installation I got a lot of timeout's to the controller (mfid0) and the installation did not finish. After some search I found that we have to use mrsas(4) driver instead of mfi(4), which FreeBSD is using as the default driver for this card. After changing the driver in loader prompt the Installation work and the new installed system will boot from disk (before boot I have to set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 in loader.conf).
Now my Problem is that we have managed the DELL Controller Cards with mfiutil(8)in the past and after changing the driver to mrsas(4) mfiutil(8) did not work anymore.
Can anyone tell me which CLI utility I can use instead of mfiutil(8) to manage this controller now?
Thanks,
Oliver
