FYI for anyone looking swap the to 8 SAS and 7 SATA connections on the backplane of full build HL15’s and still have “45Drives Disks” work in Cockpit/Houston.
Default setup is SATA only for slots 1-1 to 1-8 and SAS/SATA slots 1-9 to 1-15. Cables coming from the motherboard to the backplane are labeled A,B,C,D going right to left.

To satisfy my OCD and have connections in “order” …
- Swapped SATA cables A/B and SAS cables C/D on the motherboard
- Plugged cables into the backplane from left to right in order A,B,C,D

- Updated
/etc/vdev_id.confso that 1-1 to 1-8 references SAS device paths (/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:19:00.0-sas-phy[0-8]-lun-0) and 1-9 to 15 sata device paths (/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:17.0-ata-[1-7]) are listed in order like my file include below.

- Reload cockpit via
systemctl restart cockpitand 45Drive Disks module should be updated!
