Can I connect two F-QIP cards to an X2045A for the sake of redundency? So that if one F-QIP card fails or one of the fiber cables is damaged then the other will work ? Can I install two X2043A cards (I think on the configuration guide on Now that was not a possibility). What is the make and model of these two cards - where I can I find additional details of these cards?
Thanks

The supported Fibre Channel HBAs for the F840 are as follows:
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters: Qlogic X2043A (optical) Qlogic X2045A (2 channel optical) Qlogic X2041A (copper)
One F-QIP card in the Spectra 12000 can control 4 drives. In this case, you will need only one X2043A (assuming you want optical) HBA connected to that F-QIP. If you have more than 4 drives in the library then your options are the X2045A or X2043A.

Hi,
Can someone specify the exact card number I need to order in order to connect a Spectralogic Gator 12000 tape library directly (not through a switch) to a Netapp 840. I have two cards on the library, can I have two cards on the netapp? or can I have a dual card on the netapp? One additional bit of info, the library and netapp are about 50 meters apart.
Thanks
