ZimaOs - Problem Hardware Control LSI 9207 SAS

First of all, I would like to thank you for creating the CasaOs and ZimaOs software. Congratulations. I am a user who is looking for a local server. I am a beginner in the field, and I identified with everything in the software above.
I have a machine that uses the LSI 9207-8i hardware controller, which connects two 7.8TB SAS drives. CasaOs recognizes the controller, but ZimaOs does not.
Although CasaOs and ZimaOs are “brothers”, they both have their own features. And I identified better with ZimaOs, due to some of the things it has, such as: RAID and the Zima software for PC and cell phone.
If possible, I would like you to add this correction in the next compatibility updates with the controller, something that CasaOS recognizes.
I thank you in advance and wish you all the best.

If the driver is added, would you help us test its compatibility?

Hi, @Zima-Jerry . Would you please take a look at this request?

Good morning,

I tested ZimaOS on 2 CPUs:

  • Dell Optiplex 7040 - i5 intel 6th generation 16gb DDR4.

  • Asrock H110M motherboard - i5 7th generation - 16gb DDR4.

  • LSI 9240-8i 6Gbps SAS HBA 9211-8i Controller Board TI Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 2 *SFF SATA

On both CPUs, the LSI controller worked in CasaOS, recognizing the 2 SAS SSDs. There was no need to change the BIOS.

ZimaOS does not recognize it and no information appears for the controller board.

yes, absolutely

Hi, it should be available in the upcoming version 1.4.2. Look forward to your feedback and testing.

Good morning, friend @Zima-Giorgio. I updated to beta 1.4.2 and monitored the SAS SSD and controller. So far, everything is working. Thank you for your feedback and best wishes. Congratulations.
