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.

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).
