Hi...
Has anyone had positive experience with the Qlogic 8Gb/s HBA's. Eg. QLE2560
QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
Looking to make my Axus Direct Attached storage available as a FC target.

Well I replaced my 8Gb Qlogic HBA with a QLA2460, but the target mode doesn't load.
The card is on thne supported hardware list so I'm guessing it's something else.
2009-10-29 9:52:37 fc module 'isp_scst' is allowed to load: INIT/TARGET/INITTARGET=0/1/0, a1/a2/a3=1/1/1, loading
2009-10-29 9:52:38 fc module 'isp_mod' is allowed to load: INIT/TARGET/INITTARGET=0/1/0, a1/a2/a3=1/1/1, loading
2009-10-29 9:52:38 fc module 'qla2xxx' isn't allowed to load: INIT/TARGET/INITTARGET=0/1/0, a1/a2/a3=1/0/1, not loading
I don't think 8GB is supported yet
This is saying that the intitiator driver 'qla2xxx' isn't allowed to load, this is because you set it to target mode.Quote:

Hi guys, any update related QLE2560 support? we have a QLE2560 setup and consider using DSS.
I haven't had problems using the Qlogic 8Gbit QLE 2560 HBA with open-e. It also worked fine after down-grading it to the QL2460. Make sure to check that it is set to target mode... that gets me every time.

I never checked with 8Gbit, actually (we only had one 8Gbit-capable card, so no 8Gbit initiators). Just with 4Gbit. Also, keep in mind that 8Gbit doesn't have as long of a range as running at 4Gbit.
-Update-
My Qlogic 8Gb HBA now works in target mode after a recent update.
@adamvh:
what kind of configuration did you use? Which Build/release version are you using?
And what kind of OS do you have on the server side?
I tried it if windows 2008 Server 64bit R2 and the SANSurfer HBA Manager.
So you get a stable 8Gbit connection?
