November 25, 20169 yr I have an HP Gen8 microserver. I disabled the onboard storage controller in the bios, and installed my M1015 card. I downloaded LSI MegaRAID to SAS2008(P11).zip - 5.87 MB from here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.0 and followed the instructions exactly, although (my fault) I didn't complete step 1 (as the ID is on the label) or step 2 (as I'm a dumbass). Step 3 went as expected but step 4 just reports "No LSI SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available" and fails. Has anyone else had any success flashing this card in a Gen8 microserver? Was there anything specific you needed to do? Failing that - would anyone like to earn a bit of money flashing the card for me?
November 25, 20169 yr Author Then I downloaded the original IBM ROM from the IBM website ftp://download2.boulder.ibm.com/ecc/sar/CMA/XSA/ibm_fw_sraidmr_1000-20.11.1-0184_windows_32-64.exe, and extracted M1000FW.ROM. Using megarec -cleanflash 0 M1000FW.ROM I get: MegaRAID HWR Controller Recovery tool. Version 01.01-004 February 05, 2010 Copyright (c) 2006-2008 LSI Corp.

November 26, 20169 yr Author Ok so I figured it out - despite buying an M1015 the vendor actually sent me an M5015. I didnt notice at first, but exploring with megarec -adplist it showed the type as 2108v - which is clearly not an m1015. I reflashed it with the m5015 firmware and sbm and all was fine. Now to get a refund from eBay…
