Virtual Connect SFP

Maxitaly_1 — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 09:09:53 GMT

Hi all

I need to connect the module VC "Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module" to a network switch and a SAN switch.

Network: 1Gb switch. I think that I need "453154-B21 HP BLc Virtual Connect 1Gb RJ-45 Small Form Factor Pluggable Option Kit". Correct ?

SAN: The switch is a 4Gb. It's possible to use 8Gb SFP on the VC side ?
In the QuickSpec I see 2 option:

AJ716A HP 8Gb Shortwave B-series Fibre Channel 1 Pack SFP+ Transceiver
AJ718A HP StorageWorks 8Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ 1 Pack

Which one is appropriate for the "Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module"

Many thanks
Max

Correct. You can also use 453151-B21 1Gb SX SFP for fibre optics 1Gb connection.

Yes, you can use 8Gb SFP. It will work with 8Gb, 4Gb and 2Gb connections. Both AJ716A and AJ718A work with FlexFabric module. AJ718A is cheaper.

Hi,

I am in the process of installing a C Class G3 Chassis.

when I plug a A718A module into the VC X1 port , it resports as incompatible.

the VC is up to 4.20 firmware as is the OA.

Any ideas??
