Blade Virtual Connect FlexFabric compatibility with HPE SN6700B SAN switch

tsajauka — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 07:09:47 GMT

Hello,

Can anyone tell me why the Blade VC-FF (FlexFabric-20/40 F8 and FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Modules) is not listed on SPOCK connectivity stream as compatible with HPE SN6700B SAN switch https://h20272.www2.hpe.com/spock/utility/document.aspx?docurl=Shared%20Documents/hw/switches/B-Series_FC_Switch_Connectivity_Stream.pdf? Are there any important reasons for this? Thanks.

FYI: this is the official response from HPE WW TecHub:

"We have this information from storage team from few months ago: There are no plans to qualify B-series Gen 7 switches with the C-class enclosure modules. If it is a significant new customer deal, a DER might be considered, otherwise it will be rejected."

Hello Tsajauka,

The SPOCK lists devices that have been qualified.

The SN6700B switch model has not been qualified with the FlexFabric modules yet.

This is a dynamic document, and will be updated when further qualifications are performed. As of now, there is no timeframe specified for this activity.

Regards,
