All –
I am a little late to the party here, but FYI changing these from 1x40GbE to 4x10GbE or vice versa requires that the controller hosting the card you’re doing
this on requires a restart to be functional (just like changing a CNA card personality from FC to Ethernet or an FC interface to target/initiator).
Cheers & Good Luck!

If I recall, I remember reading when changing the personality of those cards (i.e. 40G to 4x10G or vice-versa), it requires going into maintenance mode, making the change, doing a halt and then a power cycle of the head to fully reset the
NIC. a reboot or halt/boot is not good enough.

Hi Mike,
yes, I got it solved and wanted to reply back earlier but somehow always forgot about it :-/
I’m not really sure what finally was the fix, since I was having the filer in my lab when I encountered the issues and time ran out on the project to further debug this, so we shipped it to its final destination, powered it back on and everything was working.
So I’m not sure i fit was the full halt of both filers to finally accept the NICs or i fit was a stronger guy than me who pushed in the QSFP+ modules (since the datacenter guy said that compared to the other modules in the servers f.ex., those had to be pushed in harder, whatever that means) and from then on, I was having full connectivity on all four modules in my gear.
I think I’ll never find out if it was me being to weak, or if the full powercycle helped it.
Best,

Betreff: Re: X1144A - No link
Hey Alexander,
Curious if you solved this issue.
I'm running into the same thing, but using copper QSFP NetApp cables.I have several FAS9000s with X91440A-C dual-port 40GbE cards, connecting to X190001 (Cisco 3132Q-V cluster net switches) via 3 meter copper X66100-3 40GbE QSFP cables.
No link on either the filers, or the switches.
The switches see the cables are inserted, but have status 'notconnec'. The ISL trunk connections between switches (ports 31/32 listed here) are working though:
Ports 7 and 8 listed here are going back to the filers, and that's where I'm hoping to get link, but no luck.
