Hello,
I've recently been given domain over a number of supermicro storage servers using Broadcom / LSI SAS2004 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Spitfire] (rev 03) to run a bunch of SSDs. I was attempting to do fresh installs of CentOS 8 and have come to find out that RedHat deprecated support for a number of HBAs for 8 including all running the SAS2004 chip.
Does anyone know if there is a driver available for this chip from a third party repo? My google searches have led me to believe that EPEL 8 has a kmod-mpt3sas package but it does not seem to exist though multiple blogs have stated otherwise. If anyone knows if there is a solution for CentOS 8 that would be great or if I have to roll back to CentOS 7 for card support.
Thanks,
William
that chip should use the MPT2SAS driver, same as the more common SAS2008. a complication for both of those is they can be flashed to be either IT (initiator-terminator mode, a pure SAS HBA), or IR (integrated raid, a rather weak implementation of hardware raid). AFAIK, the MPT2 driver is for IT mode, so if the board identifies itself as IR, I believe it uses a different 'megaraid' driver.

It is ELRepo, not EPEL. :)

strikes me, MPT2 support should find its home in the CentOSPlus kernel for 8.

ok, yes there is. found by changing 7 to 8 in the URL ... http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/centosplus/
that should be linked here, https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus

Updated, including the removal of the legacy C5 link.

I'm pretty sure your device requires the kmod-mpt3sas driver from elrepo (not EPEL!), but would need to see the pci device id (from 'lspci -nn') to be sure.
If you are installing to this device, disk ISO images for the driver are available for use at install time:
https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/
Make sure you pick the image that matches the point release you are installing (e.g, el8.0, el8.1, el8.2 etc).
Thanks for the responses everyone. Yes ELRepo not EPEL... Guess I just need to read more carefully. So used to EPEL it didn't even occur to me they were stipulating a different repo.
