To do this, you will have to insert the controller into the x86 machine, I use the exotic vliw architecture e2k. I see. That's a real problem with proprietary tooling. To be honest, I can't find any free management tool for this RAID controller other than mfiutil and bioctl-based tools in NetBSD and OpenBSD; so the options are quiet limited. For LSI's SAS HBA cards, There's a source-available lsiutil which can be built for other architectures. I once used that tool to download and upload the firmware...

I once used that tool to download and upload the firmware for my 3801X cards on an IBM Power System. However that tool doesn't work for MegaRAID SAS controllers.

Can I ask you one more question? Is it possible to save the current firmware by reloading the new one? I don't think mfiutil can do that currently. Consider using a low-level tool such as megarec for that instead. Note that megarec runs in MS-DOS.

Maybe make an automatic detection of the unit? It may be possible to scan /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/proc_name files, and default to the lowest unit number whom the file contains megaraid_sas. But I'm not sure whether that will be implemented.

Hi, Can you try ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/megaraid_sas/ on your system? If that directory doesn't exist, try ls -l /sys/class/scsi_host/ instead. It is likely that the SCSI host unit number isn't 0 on your system; please pass the -u <unit> option accordingly. See the 'GET UNIT NUMBER OF CONTROLLERS' section of manual page mfiutil(8) for a detailed explanation.
