So in a fatigued stupor last night, I tried using the P15 sas2flash.efi to flash the P07's 2118 ir.bin. Now, I was still interested in cross-flashing to the LSI IT firmware, because Stanza and sovking said something about all the amenities of the LSI firmware, and because Dell seems to have stopped updating theirs whereas LSI is still releasing new ones.

Is there any difference between the Dell 6GBPSAS and an LSI 9211? Eg, in the number of addressable drives if I stick in a sas expander, smart pass-thru? Do both cards use the same stable drivers in Linux and in OI? So it looks like I should be happy and just use it. Not gonna worry about the 'Int Tape Adapter' unless someone says I should. But upon reboot and entering the controller config bootrom, it presents itself as a 6gbps SAS, with no raid functionality, so I guess that the IT firmware really is in place. The (IR) in the firmware product ID made me think that it was still in IR mode despite flashing Dell's non-raid 6gbpsas.fw.

Greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed. Given that I'm not going to use zfs mirror or zraid modes, would there be any loss if I just left the controller in IR mode and attached JBOD? I was planning to connect individual disks in ZFS format to IT-mode controller, and to use snapraid to generate parity on separate disks. Does anyone have a P10-P13 sas2flash.efi, or one that can cross-flash?ДЈ. Anyone knows why the non-RAID 6GBPSAS.FW flashes successfully but still leaves me with an IR mode controller?Дў. P05's sas2flash.efi seems to be too old and has a flashing error.ДЎ. On the LSI website, only P16, P15 and P05 EFI installers are available. Somebody managed to find the P13 version and posted it on mediafire, but the file is no longer available there. The P12 version is known to work, but cannot be downloaded from the LSI website any more because it was quarantined by LSI's antivirus.

Googled some forum posts which suggest that LSI has removed the ability to cross-flash firmwares in later versions of the sas2flash.efi utility. Attempted to flash the LSI 2118it.bin without first erasing, and it reports that it is unable to flash IT firmware over IR firmware. I've also tried the Dellized A08 firmware that Stanza recommended here, and still remained in IR mode. But despite checking that the 6GBPSAS.FW file came from the SAS non-Raid section, a subsequent sas2flash -list reports that the card is in IR mode.

Managed to go back to the Dellized firmware A10.

Successfully erase firmware with 'sas2flash -o -e 6', but when I try to write the P16 or P07 firmware 2118it.bin, I end up with a firmware fault, fault code D04. Boot to X9SCM's EFI Shell, use LSI's sas2flash.efi from the Installer P16 for EFI. I don't have any other motherboards available. Exiting program' says that motherboards with EFI/UEFI bios have limited optionROM and suggests to use a different motherboard or try the EFI sas2flash.efi utility instead. Boot to DOS, use LSI's sas2flsh.exe from the P16 firmware to try to erase the firmware. The card identifies itself as an Internal Tape Adapter instead of a Perc H200. I'm having problems flashing IT firmware to my Dell H200 card on my SuperMicro X9SCM.
