Hi there,

 

I’m having a hard time currently connecting my new FAS8020 to our existing fabric – the FCP ports just won‘t get online and I’m not sure where exactly the problem is and how to debug that since I’m more the NAS guy not having much practical experience with FCP configurations, so here’s the deal for all of you who are wanting to help.

FCP Adater on NetApp:

 

                  Node: jetfire

               Adapter: 1b

           Description: Fibre Channel Target Adapter 1b (QLogic 8324 (8362), rev. 2, 16G)

     Physical Protocol: fibre-channel

         Maximum Speed: 16

                Status: link not connected

             Substatus: ADAPTER UP

     Host Port Address: 0

     Firmware Revision: 6.10.0

Data Link Rate (Gbit): 0

    Fabric Established: false

Connection Established: loop

             Mediatype: ptp

      Configured Speed: 4

      Configured State: up

           Switch Port: :

 

 

AFAIK, the 16Gbit/s adapter should be backwards compatible to 4Gbit/s, our switch only has 4Gbit/s but it supports NPIV which seems to be a requirement for running Clustered Data Ontap via FC.

 

So, I have no idea what information I should provide upfront for someone who’s wanting to help me through get through that, but I’m more than happy to send more info when requested.

 

Thanks,
