The bundled storcli2 (008.0005.0000.0010, Feb 2023) reports zero
controllers on a live SAS3808-iMR system even though storcli64 and
lspci both see it fine (confirmed the PCI device is correctly bound to
megaraid_sas — mpi3mr doesn't even list it as a candidate driver, so
this isn't a driver-binding issue storcli2 could route around).
Swapping in Broadcom's newer 08.017.000.0008 release on the chance it
recognizes this controller/firmware combo where the older build
doesn't; storcli64's drive-listing path (already fixed to parse the
real per-slot JSON shape) remains the primary, confirmed-working
source regardless of whether this update changes storcli2's behavior
for this card.

storcli64 enumerates these controllers but reports zero drives; storcli2
is the tool Broadcom ships for Tri-Mode/MegaRAID8 hardware and uses a
compatible JSON schema for drive listing. Wires storcli2 into both the
collector (structured drive data) and the webui RAID Management page
(dedup so a controller isn't double-listed if storcli64 already sees it
with zero drives), plus techdump raw collection and the ISO vendor-tool
build step.
