How to flash AAXRMS2LL080 to IT firmware?

[晨李2]

From the downloadcenter, I got 5 different version of firmware packages.

But none of them has a IT firmware.

I turn to LSI website, and got the lastest firmware package of LSI 9211-8i.

Use the command sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin -b, then got a error message about can't flash a IT FW over current IR FW.

So, how to flash to IT FW?

I have download this package before, but don't find a IT firmware or instruction about how to turn IR to IT.

After runing rms2ll080.nsh, the result is IR firmware.

I have solved.

Download p05 ver. firmware tool (sas2flash.efi), p20 ver. IT Firmware (2118it.bin) and p20 ver. BOOT ROM (mptsas2.rom) from avago/lsi website.

Copy sas2flash.efi, 2118it.bin and mptsas2.rom to a USB driver.

Reboot and enter EFI Shell.

FS0:>sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin

Then got a message about NVDATA mismatch, Y/N continue ?

Press Y to continue.

FS0:>sas2flash.efi -o -b mptsas2.rom

Reboot.

After initialize, Ctrl+C enter HBA's BIOS, the Adapter name change to LSI 9211-8i, and the FW Revision is 20.00.04.00-IT.
