Communication issue between Blace c3000 and SAN MSA 1000

[Angel Fontana_1]

Last question...

I was trying to connect via telnet to the switch but I haven't got it.

I've only a cable which I plug into the serial port of the switch and the other end of the cable is a "special" RJ45 which I can only plug into the SAN but not in a laptop.

D'you know how can I telnet it?

Hi,

Normal serial cable or cross-over ethernet cable should work.

Telnet 10.77.77.77 or with browser

thanks again...

This blade gives me headache. Now, they are just recommending I buy "HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch - A8000A" because this have NPIV and it's compatible with the MSA 1000 but now I've got other doubt. I've got two servers DL380G4 with a Qlogic Fiber channel HBA. Is this card compatible with the switch recommended?

[JKytsi]

Usually (or always) they are compatible, but what is Your FC card model ?

[Angel Fontana_1]

Good question.

I tried to find out, but via "software" I can't see the model and I'll need stop the seerver to take off the card and look for the model. I was lokking for some software what found out the model but I didn't find it. Do you know other way to find out it?

[JKytsi]

Do You have Proliant Support Pack installed ? In System management homepage under storage, You can find it out.

[Angel Fontana_1]

yes, I do, but I only see this (attached)

I think I found the card ref. It is a "A7523A 2Gb Fibre Channel HBAs". This card was included in the MSA 1000 starter kit...
