This looks encouraging as I just bought an M1115.Andyfoo September 15, 2013 at 10:46 am
I just bought the M1115 and it flashes to 9211-8i IT firmware just fine using the M1015 commands in this post. FreeBSD 9.2-rc4 with this thing is frickin’ awesome; 6 x 3TB disks in raidz2 working rock solid )
(I got the M1115 because the M1015 is hard to get in Denmark right now plus the M1115 was 15$ cheaper. I used the FreeDOS 1.1 USB stick image from FreeDOS 1.1 USB Boot Image )
Something I did not find obvious, is that sas2flsh.exe won’t detect the card until you run the megarec commands to clear the flash and then reboot. Only then will sas2flsh see the card. Made me a bit nervous at first… Thanks, Pieter!
I was not able to boot my spare pc with this so had to go with my server which has that goofy intel UEFI crap.Convert LSI9240(IBM M1015) to a LSI9211-IT mode
Type in the following exactly:
megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
megarec -cleanflash 0
<reboot, UEFI shell from bios>
mount fs0: (may want to check your bios to be sure)
fs0:
sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin
<reboot>
Done!
#14 is off of the newly flashed controller.AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

Did, no differenceCan you try M1115 in another PCIe slot ?
Stock IBM (latest)You running IBM Firmware or LSI ?
Will try that. Funnily Lenovo certified plain LSI 9240-8i with this server ...Try LSI 9240 latest firmware if running IBM or Go back to IBM if running LSI
You can chop and change FW between LSI and IBM your card remains a M1115 either way.(latest)
No as they have same Firmware (it is M1015 / M1115 combo firmware).I wonder if cross flashing to a M1015 would solve this issue (thinking aloud)
What would this process have to do with an M1115? THis is for Perc cards being run in desktop systems. I may be wrong, but I'm not sure if this will affect the outcome.Try taping pins 5 and 6 on the PCIe edge.
ie when looking down on the card with chips up and PCIe card edge at bottom, the 5th and 6th copper contacts from left.
ie like this from here Yannick's Tech Blog: Modding a Dell Perc 6 (Perc 5/Perc H310) SAS Raidcontroller
Costs nothing and may solve it
TY, You are the man I can confirm "tape mode" works on M1115 too.Try taping pins 5 and 6 on the PCIe edge.
