Has anyone successfully flashed a stock LSI 9211-8i into a usable IT-mode card in the R710 storage slot, similar to a crossflashed H200?
I can get it to boot without complaining about the wrong card in the slot with the sbr mod, but I'm getting the SAS cable error:
I have a working cross-flashed H200 in IT mode that I've dumped the entire flash contents, and tried to flash it to the 9211 with
I "uploaded" all the flash parts I know how to with sas2flash:
Comparing full dumps of both cards, the bios.bin, flash.bin, and mpb.bin differ. I think one of the cards has UEFI BIOS, which explains why BIOS is different. The mpb.bin seems to be the most likely suspect, but I can't figure out how to flash just that file with either sas2flash or lsiutils.
Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

sas2flash -o -c 1 -dflash flash.bin 2118it.bin
, and while it starts the flash download, it always errors out (Firmware Returned Exception. IOCStatus=0x8007, IOCLogInfo=0x30010407
). I've tried several versions of sas2flash, and they behave identically.I "uploaded" all the flash parts I know how to with sas2flash:
