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?

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)SAN01::> net port show -port e2*

e2e Default - down 1500 auto/10 -
Node: SAN01-02
Speed(Mbps) HealthPort IPspace Broadcast Domain Link MTU Admin/Oper Status
e2a Default - down 1500 auto/10 -

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
NetApp Release 9.1RC2: Thu Nov 24 08:59:46 UTC 2016
