( Side note: Do most people just load their OS/hypervisors on USB/flash cards and it doesn't matter if they can boot from the flashed h200? I'm baffled the lead techmattr guide breaks down the flashing part into UEFI & BOOT modes but doesn't actually include the steps or command switches to include the boot roms needed to unlock full functionality of booting in those modes. Despite boogey man stories of the brokenness of using a uefi mobo for the task vs using a bios-only mobo-Unless I am misunderstanding the argument this serves as evidence that it makes no difference to the end result. More specifically, flashed with UEFI-based motherboards that have legacy bios option included, which should be almost all if not all current & modern solutions-I haven't tested but I would think this process would work in an actual Dell server also (not in the storage slot unless it's an r510, though.

This is meant to show how to flash an h200 to IT mode AND be able to boot systems on it from either UEFI or BIOS boot modes by flashing both boot rom's in addition to the IT firmware (re BIOS: I can verify bios boot rom is present, loading, and can access bios config + ctrl-c in, but can't actually verify booting works since I run UEFI installations and am otherwise not learned in LSI's bios firmware). Through the flashing process provided by the lead techmattr article via google, I realized including UEFI boot rom's, or boot rom's of any type were not a configuration option being shown in a sufficient x, y, z step by step manner, and there wasn't an all-in-one vehicle for getting the job done that I could find. Apparently I'm a sadist for running modern linux solutions, but I run the latest UEFI Debian 9-stable as my go to OS for labbing. I obtained an R510 12-bay & wanted to flash an h200 to IT mode. Rest is fluff but read if you want explicit steps. You can use just the -b switch without the others to add the roms to existing firmware without overwriting. Tldr Follow techmattr guide but add -b switch to sas2flash.efi/exe & select 圆4sas2.rom or mptsas2.rom to add boot roms to installation. r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice. r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab. r/hardwareswap - Used hardware, swap hardware.
