Hey Mark,
I spent *so* many hours looking for that firmware. Would you please
post the link? Did the firmware dl you found come with fcode? Running blade
2000 here (SPARC).
Thx
Jake

Well, I may have misspoke. I just spent a good portion of yesterday
upgrading to the latest firmware myself (downloaded from SuperMicro's FTP,
version 1.26.00 also; after I figured out I had to pass the -o option to
mptutil to force the flash since it was complaining about a mismatched card
or some such) and I thought that the machine had locked up again later in
the day yesterday because I couldn't ssh into the machine.
To my surprise though, I was able to log into the machine just fine this
morning directly on the console from the command line. It seems the snv_125
bug with /dev/ptmx bit me (the "error: /dev/ptmx: Permission denied" problem
that required me tracking down the release notes for snv_125 to figure out
the problem) and the server was happy otherwise. More importantly, the
zpool activity had all finished and I have three clean spares again!
Normally this amount of I/O would have totally killed the machine!
So somewhere between upgrading the firmware to the latest version and
upgrading to snv_131, it looks like the problem may have actually been
addressed. I'm guardedly optimistic at this point, given the previous
problems I've had so far with this on-board controller.
Interesting to hear someone else with the same chip but on an expansion card
has no problems (but was with the on-board chip).
