@marcan just to contribute to this discussion, I’ve followed your instructions for the MegaRAID->IT firmware flash it worked! I’ve done it several times now, so I can confirm it does work. I recommend @Gartral read over those steps carefully because it does work, but see my remarks below.

a few things to note though:

after hostboot, it might take a few seconds for the MPT port to become available. I have to poll status on this before proceeding to next step.
after the firmware flash, the reset that follows that does not always succeed. about half the time, it results in IOC in FAULT state. however, another reset fixes this and it goes IOC in READY state. then, I can proceed.

@marcan where did find the information on how to do the hostboot? if there’s a developer’s guide, would you mind sharing?
