Hi Mike,
Thanks, I had a similar issue with 1G copper SFPs in the past – but that doesn’t seem to apply here since the 40G ports are on an expansion slot and do not seem to be CNA capable:
*> cna_flash update all
NOTE: The flash update will take up to 30 minutes per update. (Current 2 chip(s) in the system) Do not interrupt power during the update, or you risk flash image corruption.
Version (5.0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0e. Version (5.0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0g.
-> While the expansion ports are in slot 2.
Also, the upgrade to Ontap 9.1 did not solve the issue – will check the cables now when I’m in the datacenter.
Best,

Just a thought- I noticed that on a FAS2554, when trying to use 1G SFPs (copper) in the UTA ports, I had similar issues. I ended up having to apply a firmware update to the UTA2 system, IIRC, from maintenance mode. I have nothing that leads me to believe that is the case here, but it sounds somewhat close.
The updated firmware was actually on the system with the code it shipped with, but needed to be manually applied.
If all else fails, there's always a support ticket :)

They look exactly like these and HWU calls them X65402. The connector looks exactly like the MPO connector which can also be seen in HWU and hast he cable number X66200-2 – so this is what I got:
X1144A Adapter X65402 Transceivers X66200-2 Cables
Should all play well with 9.1RC2 on the AFF-A300.
Since 9.1 has already been released, I’ll upgrade this system to 9.1 and see if that changes anything – maybe there’s a reason why they call it RC ☺

OK, a little confused now. Are you trying to use copper or optical?
According to HWU, the X1144A as QSFP+ slots and the cable ends look identical to the SAS cables. The NetApp end should be any supported copper cable with a QSFP+ end or an optical transciever (X65402A, mfg 332-00389). The optical transciver will have the QSFP+ going into the filer and exposing the MPO end for your optical cable
Since it looks like you are trying to use Optical, are you *sure* the optical transcivers are the right ones for that card?

Curious...are you using it as a two-port 40Gb card or using the breakout cable?

I’ve just installed those fancy X1144A cards in one of our AFF300 systems and it seems they’re getting recognized properly, but I’m not able to get a link on them.
sysconfig says:

For testing purposes, I did connect e2a on node1 to e2a on node 2 and I already tried exchanging the QSFPs and cables, but still no dice. Any idea what could be wrong here?
According to HWU, the minimum required OS version is 9.1RC2, which is exactly what is installed currently:
