Dear colleagues,
I set up a ceph cluster for the lab and therefore was looking for payable 10G switches. So I slipped over the G8124 as you can get those for a good price. The switches basically do what they should. Nevertheless the firmware installed does not support vLAG, which I want to use to achieve bonding over two switches.
I used the latest IBM firmware to update one of the devices but bricked ist. System does not boot any more.
My question is: is there a way of update them to a newer firmware or has there been a change in hardware, that will limit upgrade possibilities? Someone has those switches in use and already did the update?
Thanks for your help.
