Based on the advise I gotten here, I have order a used IBM M1015/LSI 9240 SAS controller. During boot, it say
LSI MegaRAID SAS-MFI BIOS
Version 4.27.80 (Build August 18, 2011)
HA -0 (Bus 6 Dev 0) ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA Controller
FW pacakge: 20.18.1-0052
My questions are as follow
1. Is this the right firmware for what I need to be use with FreeNAS? Or do I need to flash this with a LSI or IBM firmware?
2. I probably want to get this flash to the latest proper firmware level. Do I look for this at IBM or LSI website?
3. Do I configure the drives as "unconfigure" or JBOD for FreeNAS? All I know is that I do not need RAID or assign them to a disk group.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you
