Topic: [REQ] Updated Dell SAS 5x that also supports IBM Blade and LSI 1064

The current MassStorage contains the 11/17/2005,1.21.08.00 "Dell SAS 5x (Windows Server 2003 32-bit) driver in the D\2 Folder. This driver is for the LSI_SAS 1064 controllers.

The IBM System X Blade HS21XM also utilizes the LSI_SAS 1064 controller.

An updated version of the driver 10/18/2006,1.21.28.00 is available from the IBM site. This updated version also supports the device ids found in the Dell servers.
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/system … nd=5000020

Based on the new driver, the DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini would also change to include the newer set of hwids:

ms_1_hwids="PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0050,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0058,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_005E,
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0056,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_005A,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0062"

Since the updated version is available from IBM, maybe the folder should change from D\2 to I\7 (new folder).  Or maybe a new LSI folder, since it covers Dell and IBM systems.

hi,
will you help me remember, so it gets into 7.12?
I'll have my plate full for a while, and don't want to forget you want this.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
