    Default Problems with QLA2462

    Hello,

    i wrote already that i have the problem with the "No Cable", but now i installed the current RC (or Beta? Ver. 2956) and in the "Setup / Fibre Chennel" the DSS told me that there is no FC HBA.

    After upgrade the Kernel is switched back to 32 Bit, so i changed it to 64 Bit but then the controller will be shown in "Status / Hardware" but not in "Setup / Fibre Channel".

    Has anybody some ideas?

    I will try what happens when i switch back to 32 Bit and then back to Initiator mode, if i remember right i switched to Target mode with the 32 Bit kernel. Perhaps i must change this when the 64 Bit kernel is running... I tested already with the normal kernel and with the testing kernel.

    As i wrote i tested the scenarios... In 64 Bit only the Initiator Mode works, when switching to Target i got a message that no FC HBA is installed...

    I was trying to see if I could duplicate the problem from my end and was not able too - I have the same Qlogic HBA's "ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 03)" with version 2956. On the Target I have set to use 32bit single and SMP with TESTING (kernel 2.6.23) also I did a direct connection between the 2 DSS and still was able to connect them both. Both HBA's are at configuration defaults and the only system reboot was the Target system after setting as Target in: SETUP -> Fibre Channel -> Function: QLOGIC Target. So everything was configured from defaults.
    All the best,

    Since when is the QLE2462 supported in Target mode? On the Open-E Web-Site this is not listed and because this i got a QLA2462 (PCI-X).

    And have you tested with a 64 Bit kernel? In 32 Bit the controller was found in Target mode...

    Call me stupid, but i see only QLA Controllers and not a QLE...

    QLA2462 -> PCI-X
    QLE2462 -> PCI-Express

    The QLE2462 is only listed for Initiator mode...

    Typo on my end, I meant my target is a QLA2462 and initiator QLE2462 tested with directly attached and with the Sanbox 5600.

    O.k. Please can you check with a 64 Bit kernel in Initiator mode? In the Build before (2922) the controller was found...

    I'll be out for the holidays and will test when I get back - any one else that can test this with 64bit and build 2854.
    All the best,
