The firmware at LSI works up to version 8.4. All the later firmware versions are for FFX-2 controllers. There is also software available at http://www.sli-consulting.com/products_software.htm called X-DAM 2 that is an alternative to eArray Director. It looks much worse, but has additional features. Also, the later firmware downloads include a Global Array Management system that works with the 660F. This provides in OS status of the SAN including SNMP, this is the most professional of the software, but can't configure the RAID. The PowerVault 660F is a Mylex FFX controller.

It took a lot of research to find answers on the 660F and Nate had the real answer without needing to read between the lines. Without this, the 660F is JBOD. Nate’s suggests worked great.
