Hi Sibananda,
I tried using StorCli to query the RAID controller, but it could not recognize it. 

MegaCli output:
# MegaCli -adpcount


Controller Count: 1.

Exit Code: 0x01
# MegaCli -adpallinfo -aall

Adapter #0

 Yes MegaCli and StorCli from LSI works with mrsas(4).There were plans to include mfiutil(8) support for mrsas(4) but may be later it will be merged.On Sep 25, 2015 4:30 AM, "Pallav Bose" <pallav_bose at yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi Sibananda,
Thank you for the pointer. I was able to compile mrsas(4) for FreeBSD 8.0. Can you please tell me whether MegaCli can be used with the mrsas(4) driver? I have been mfiutil(8) and MegaCli so far along with the mfi(4) driver. Obviously mfiutil(8) cannot be used with mrsas(4).
 Thanks,Pallav

 I think you can check the mrsas(4) for the same.

See here for the man page and supported controllers:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mrsas&sektion=4

You can check LSI's (Avago) website for the latest available driver:
http://www.avagotech.com/products/server-storage/raid-controllers/megaraid
-sas-9380-8e#downloads

Go to the Driver section and find out the latest FreeBSD driver available.
Download and compile the code for FreeBSD 8.x.

Thanks

Hi,
Is there a port of the mfi(4) driver for FreeBSD 8.x to support Dell's
PowerEdge RAID Controller H730? It is built on the LSI SAS 3108 chip.

Thanks,Pallav
