Qlogic QLE2460

I know the 2462's should work in Target mode. Try setting it again from the GUI and restart the system.

I will send you the new DSS V6 beta version as well - check your Forum email inbox.

Thanks for the link Tod, downloading now.

If i set the card to inisiator mode in the gui it is not listed, strange but on reboot my card gets a link up led. If I then use the drop down and select target mode the card and wwn are reported ok but i never get a link.

The C A F console reporps the card with no tools. My old copy of lite see's the card and lets me manage it from the console.

I know this card works.... strange that this is not working - did you restart again after setting to Target mode. Try with the new DSS V6 and see if that works.

Hi Todd,

looks like the ips driver will not support point to point topology, thats a real pain.

I have been testing clustering with 3 servers and 4 hda's connected point to point, this works
great with the qla2xxx driver, requiring no switch.

The qle2460 does support this topology, the limitation must be the driver.

Once i connected through my switch all worked.

Is this a fault in the ISP driver from the stsc project and any chance it will get fixed.

thanks

Nigel

This is strange as I checked on the forum here and found several working with this HBA - http://forum.open-e.com/showthread.php?t=423&page=4

Is the HBA set to defaults and lets try to update to the latest version of DSS build 3513 or 3518 unless you have this already.
