Eternus DX80 S2 and FC Card Emulex lpe31000 - FC LINK DOWN

Postby Kasazza » Wed Aug 05, 2020 16:34

Hello,

I have a customer who needs to connect to a SAN DX80 S2 a brand new server RX2540 M5.
(DIRECT ATTACHED FC LINK between SAN and server)
The SAN has FC 8Gb/s channel adapter connections and last FW V10L64-3000

The customer has bought 2 FC Card FTS branded Emulex LPe31000 (S26361-F5596-L501)
On the support matrix of the DX S2 series this FC card is not listed because too brand new products.
The support matrix only recognizes as supported the models LPE1600x-LPE1200x series!
The 2 FC Card are running last FW 12.6.182.8

The SAN and the 2 FC cards do not bring UP the link together

We have tested many combination:
- BOOT FROM SAN (not needed) disabled (default) OR enabled
- LINK speed set as AUTOMATIC (default) OR FIXED 8Gb

Anyway, if possible, does anyone tested this combination as running?

Regards from Italy,

Andrea

Hi!

Have you set the connection topology to the fabric (from FC-AL)? “Fabric” (“Connectivity” -> “Port Group” -> “FC” -> “Configure FC Port” -> “Connection” -> “Fabric”)”
