I just picked up a LSI 9207-8i through amazon for a ZFS zraid2 i'm building for my current server (my first use of ZFS actually). Is there a simple way to check that the card did indeed come with the IT firmware? If I can avoid having to use a boot disk, would be ideal. Running Ubuntu 18.04 on the intended machine. I'm pretty sure the card is brand new, but can't be 100% sure, so I want to verify.
Edit: Or perhaps this card can only be in IT or IR mode anyway? So it doesn't matter as both will work with ZFS? As a side question (to verify what I've read elsewhere): IR mode is just like IT mode, but adds ability to do raid (which I of course dont want because I'm using ZFS)?
Thanks
