DSS 1.30 FC 4GB Target Mode

Hi Todd,

Any news on the update to fix this problem

Thanks

Gavin

We are having a difficult time the driver - we are getting many emails into support about this issue. We all wished that 1.32 was going to fix this issue but it did not.

We are trying to get more 2GB and 4GB cards with different switches to really test with next version.

Gavin you where one of the first to really hit this issue - thanks again for being patient on this matter. You deserve this more then anyone. Thanks and know we are really working on this from all the emails that we are getting.

Hi Todd,

any news on the default group issue, also on the auto failover

Regards
Gavin

Do you have access to test beta version if not let me know (email me) and I will get you access. We will be testing with this version on the group issues. Hopefully we can resolve it soon. Also we will be receiving equipment to run tests (all the FC issues with Qlogic) - but this has cost a great deal of $$. Thanks for being extremely patient on this issue -we really want to have this completed asap as well.

Hi Todd, downloaded the latest engineering testing Version: 1.37.DB00000000.2910 and it still does not work

Gavin:(

Thanks. I will be testing next week with the new Qlogic switches and 2 QLogic 2462 4Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter PCI Express to see what is happening. We should know more after we start to test.

I'm about to test out FC target myself. Correct me if I'm wrong - 2gb is working for everyone, right?

Thats correct the 2GB works well we have two DSS deployed with fibre and use them for our exchange, sql, progress and virtual servers. Touch wood no problems yet and it has been about 4 months.

I'm also testing the FC-Target-Modus with the QLA2462-CK.

Is it working in 2GB modus?

Did you test it with a direct connection or with a FC-switch?

best regards, wolfgang

We have tested direct and using brocade FC switches
