[Bug 198463] [mfi] COMMAND 0x... TIMEOUT AFTER ## SECONDS (LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i)

[Sibananda Sahu]

As Mark J said both mfi(4) and mrsas(4) can be used for this controller.
By default in FreeBSD 9.3 or 10.1, the mfi(4) driver will be coupled to
this controller(LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i).

If you want to override this default behavior then you have to provide
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 at the loader prompt.

This setting will not work on FreeBSD-9.3 as this setting is controlled by
mfi(4) driver and mfi(4) driver just lacks checking of this setting in
FreeBSD-9.3.
But this setting will work just fine in the case of FreeBSD-10.1.

If you want mrsas(4) on FreeBSD-9.3 then you have to re-compile the kernel
with mfi(4) unloaded and then you can use the mrsas(4) as a module.
You can download the mrsas(4) driver module from the www.lsi.com website
itself.

Find the FreeBSD driver from the below link:

Probably you can use the mrsas(4) driver.

--- Comment #1 from Mark Johnston <markj at FreeBSD.org> --- You might try
using the mrsas(4) driver for this controller instead of mfi(4).
Both drivers can attach to this card; mrsas(4) can be selected by setting
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 at the loader prompt, and has better support for
newer LSI controllers.
