If your raid card has the option, you could try putting it into "passthrough" or IT-mode then restart and see if the system can see the expander. If this doesn't work, you might need to find a cheap LSI-type card that has IT-mode firmware. I know you would be able to see the expander with that type of card. I've never tried connecting one of my expanders to a raid card like Adaptec or Areca, just LSI.Hello,
I recently got the HP SAS EXP Card firmware 2.06(F), I am trying to update the firmware but its not being recognized in Ubuntu 18.04.
I have installed all updates that I can find, and my raid card is installed and recognized properly. when I run the following cmd the expander doesn't get listed.
lsscsi -g | grep HP
is there something I am missing? I would like to update the firmware.
thank you
Bill
