Fibre Channel (FC) SFP+ module choice for FlexFabric module?
Michael had a question on which Fibre Channel SFP+ modules are supported for the VC FlexFabric module:
****************
The VC connection matrix only references the AJ716A 8Gb SFP+ module for use with FC connections on the FlexFabric module. The quickspecs and SBW, though, both indicate either the AJ716A or AJ718A can be used. Historically these SFP+ modules have not been interchangeable, to my knowledge. Can anyone comment on what is actually supported and, depending on the answer, the decision criteria for choosing one vs. the other with the FlexFabric module?
*********************
Alex provided the info:
*********************
VC FlexFabric modules support following FC SFPs
8Gb Optical Transceivers
HP 8Gb ShortWave B-series FC SFP+ AJ716A
HP 8Gb LongWave B-series 10km FC SFP+ 1 Pack AJ717A
HP 8Gb ShortWave FC SFP+ AJ718A
4Gb Optical Transceivers
HP 4Gb SW B-series FC SFP AJ715A
HP 4Gb LW B-series 30km FC SFP 1 Pack AN211A
HP 4Gb SW FC SFP+ A7446B
No, it doesn’t matter which vendor FC infrastructure is used upstream (Brocade or Cisco) when it comes to FC SFP+ module choice.
*************************
Any other input or suggestions for Michael?

Re: Fibre Channel (FC) SFP+ module choice for FlexFabric module?
Can both the AJ718A and AJ716A SFP+ modules be used within the same switch?
