Ask for a PVR from NetApp. The card with removable optics should support the LRs, NetApp would just needed to support the driver. On Sep 3, 2013 3:56 PM, "Jeff Cleverley" jeff.cleverley@avagotech.com wrote:
We're looking at having multiple connections per filer going to a switch in each room to remove the switch as a single point of failure. The single mode cabling will most likely be more compatible with 40G and 100G networking in the next few years.

Why not use SR optics from the NetApp to the switch (supported by netapp) And then LR optics between switches?

Greetings,
We are looking at upgrading and changing our network architecture. One option would be to use LR GBIC with single mode fibre. This appears to require non-NetApp GBIC which I'm sure makes it unsupported.
Is anyone doing this, and if so, which parts are you using and what issues have you run into?
Thanks,
Jeff
