Hi All
I purchased the switch card and the express bay backplane separately so I don't have the cables connecting the two. Then I used a Gen8 wide mini-sas cable connecting the two, I went head and try to run the firmware upgrade tool from redhat./spp. In both cases the update tool recognized the backplan but didn't obtain the firmware version and then tried to update the back plane firmware. The process failed with error code 42. When I plug in nvme drives, the leds simply flashed and the drives didn't get recognized.
The question is did I use the correct cable? I contacted tech support about the part number for the cables they couldn't find any. Does anyone have this setup and could you look at the cable and read the part/spare number on it?
Thanks for any help!
