Flashing IT Firmware to the IBM-ServeRAID-M1015 SAS HBA
The IBM M1015 is the go to Host Bus Adapter (HBA) for enthusiasts wanting a reliable and reasonably priced HBA for systems using advanced filesystems such as ZFS. I acquired a number of these cards for my file-server upgrade. I needed cards to support my new Norco RPC-4224 Chassis. There is a lot of discussion on line about these cards, and re-flashing them to remove the boot & raid firmware.
