That’s the 2-port 40G card with QSFPs and those funny new cables, no breakout cables.

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

Good question – I’m using the QSFPs and the cables that came with the cards, so I’m positive that those should be supported.

But I’m trying to find out.

Hi,

 

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:

 

        slot 2: 40 Gigabit Ethernet Controller XL710 QSFP+

                e2a MAC Address:    3c:fd:fe:a2:90:c8 (auto-unknown-down)

                e2e MAC Address:    3c:fd:fe:a2:90:c9 (auto-unknown-down)

4 entries were displayed.

 

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:

 

SAN01::> version
