In this video, I will show how to turn a LSI SAS2208 hardware RAID controller into a SAS2308 IT mode HBA SAS controller so that you can use it with ZFS, or other software based storage technologies.
For the UEFI Shell part, here are the commands I used:
1) sas2flash.efi -c 0 -list (to list the controller)
2) sas2flash.efi -c 0 -o -f 2308T207.ROM -b mptsas2.rom (to flash the firmware and BIOS ROM)
For pre-flashed IT Mode HBA SAS controllers, checkout my eBay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/the-art-of-ser
