Hello,

please give us more information about your environment. Which VC Moduls and SFPS are you using? Please provide the partnumbers if possible.

You are plugging the wrong SFP into the ports is the simple answer.

Are you putting FC SFP in LAN ports or vice versa?

Are you plugging 16GB SFP into 8GB ports?

I have similare issue, I have VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module (PN: 691367-B21) with 3 types of SFP 2 (10 GB and Ethernet 1 GB) of them is working and the 3rd type (8GB PN: AJ716B) is not working while it's in the compatibility list of the VC

Hi all,

i have some news about this.

Envir.  Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 - AJ716B  (8GB) incompatible in VirtualConnect 20/40 .

There is prob. misisng authentification for this part. 

Verified solution for me in 2x times.

1)in one blade in impacted enclosure  upgrade fw on mezzanine HBA to latest . version , manually up HBA card + connection linked to "failed" port . Then is SFP validated.

Hello,

You will find the solution at page 288 from this doc: https://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-a00055965en_us-1.pdf

Incompatible—The port is populated with an SFP module that does not match the usage assigned to
the port, such as a FC SFP connected to a port designated for Ethernet network traffic. A port that is
not assigned to a specific function is assumed to be designated for Ethernet network traffic. For
example, ports X1-X8 of FlexFabric-20/40 F8 modules are assumed to be Ethernet until they are
assigned as part of a SAN fabric. They will show incompatible until they are actually added to the SAN
fabric and the change is applied.
An FCoE-capable port that has an SFP-FC module connected not assigned to a fabric or network is
designated for a network, and the status is "Incompatible." When a fabric is created on that port, the
status changes to "Linked."
