Hello everyone,
I've looked into the previous threads mentioning about the firmware update and converting MCX354A-QCBT to a MCX354A-FCBT
I have 2 x MCX354A-FCBT cards andNetApp X6558-R6 cable that I'm pairing two machines with.
Wanted to understand what are my hw limitations and what max transfer speeds should I expect between these two machines.
My aim was to have a 40G link or if feasible 56G
Tried to grab the latest drivers for ubuntu 20.04 and installed it with --skip-devices-check flag.
