January 24, 201412 yr I've recently purchased an IBM M1015 online to expand my system. I want to verify that the card is in iT mode before I attempt to do unnecessary flashing (as I am still new at these things and don't want to end up with a $100+ paper weight). Does anyone know a way that I can check the current mode of this card, and if it is not in iT mode a way to flash it so that I can use it as a JBOD HBA? I've tried looking through the forums for a solution to this but have been unable to find it. Thanks in advance for everyones' time.
January 27, 201412 yr I try to get a image for you to look at of the boot tonight when I get home. My M1015s are all flashed to P11 IT mode so you can see what they SHOULD look like ignoring the really OLD date it will display. I need to get around to updating to the current version but it is low on my to do list. Also if it aint broke don't fix it.
February 2, 201412 yr Author The forum I was directed to on a separate forum topic was to this article: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg121128#msg121128 I think Reply 3 talked about the M1015. Are you guys also trying to flash it because I figured out that too and just flashed it to P18 (November 2013 release if I recall). This site I got the firmware off If you want to save time is: http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/pages/lsi-sas-9211-8i.aspx#tab/tab4 Edit: Like the form says you want to disable "Boot Support" so that the system will boot properly. If you need help flashing it you can look at my last post here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31574.0
February 2, 201412 yr Sorry guys I saw a response in another thread and thought this one had been answered. Anyway here are the screen shots I promised.
February 5, 201412 yr This site I got the firmware off If you want to save time is: http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/pages/lsi-sas-9211-8i.aspx#tab/tab4 So you are downloading 9211-8i_Package_P18_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows from the Firmware section? And also the Installer_P18_for_MSDOS_and_Windows.. right? Thanks.
