Yes, I can tell you more. The hardware as you guessed is not actually

The machine is a Cisco MCS server, possibly a Cisco MCS7800 series.

servers apparently went end of support on 2019-12-31.)

Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)
Quite possibly reflashing will fix it. IBM and Broadcom appear to have
firmware available when I google 'LSI SAS1064ET flashing'
I noticed an old forum referring to this raid card at
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/24497-sas1064et-and-3tb-hard-drives/
however, that doesn't appear to have a solution.
On a Dell R620 I needed to flash the Broadcom LSI SAS (PERC H710) so the
OS could access the HDDs directly, I used:
https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html It worked very well, but I don't
see anything about support for the IBM there.
