Addendum: Matching firmware and driver versions I was using this controller with FreeNAS 9.2.1.9 and kept on getting kernel messages like Nov 30 19:49:55 file02 kernel: (da1:mps0:0:0:0): READ(10). The only difference was that it still reported its name and PCI ID (1028:1f1c) as a Dell 6Gbps SAS Card. Now the details looked all right: Step 11 worked without a hitch and afterwards the controller details looked like this: Booting up the server, I now had a Dell H200 that behaved exactly like a LSI SAS 9211-8i. Looking at the controller details showed lots of errors: So at this point, I rebooted the machine.
