Genuine LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9200-8i 9211-8i P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID US

Sep 04, 2019

works perfectly as it-mode hba for my linux home server

I had bought an IBM M5015 RAID card (LSI SAS2108 based) and tried to flash it to IT-mode myself. It was then that I found out none of my computers on-hand were old enough to support the old 32-bit BIOS interface needed to complete the re-flashing process. I had been able to clear the flash just fine.. So there I was with a useless adapter. I couldn't even use it as a RAID card anymore. Having no easy access to another computer to try, I bit the bullet and bought another card, pre-flashed. I am happy to say that the card arrived quickly, was very clean and packaged properly (as shown in the pics), and included a half-height adapter bracket if needed. Upon installation I found that the card was indeed flashed to the IT-mode firmware (P20 release), which was a relief. Though I am not afraid to flash a card, having it already done for you saves a lot of time and possible headache. Totally worth it. I was able to attach several SATA drives via a pair of break-out cables I had already purchased. Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) was able to see the drives without any problems. I can access each drive's SMART data (which you can't do with the IR firmware). I am presently using 6 drives in a BTRFS in a "RAID10" configuration (striped mirrors), and 2 drives in a BTRFS "RAID1" configuration (mirror) with no problems. I expect it would work as well with ZFS, which also likes to see the raw drives. The only quirky thing I noticed is that the drives come up in different orders on reboot. So /dev/sda might be a different physical disk each time. I am unsure if this is the fault of the HBA or of Linux, or both. Fortunately, I learned long ago to mount by LABEL or UUID in my /etc/fstab configuration.
