HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 connect with Cisco Nexus 5048UP not linked issue

[Josefz]

Hi

we have two HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 in our C7000 chassis slot 1/2 and as ethernet switch a Cisco Nexus 5048UP (1G and 10G only). I'm trying to bring up Q1.1 (we have a JG325B MPO Module in Q1 with a HP K2Q46A cable,  this is a breakout cable which gets 4x10G SR from 40G SR). On the nexus side I've inserted a 10Gbase-SR Module and the port is up on the Nexus - but the FlexFabric module shows as port status "Not Linked". Is this configuration supported or do we have to switch to the X1-X8 ports with different cables & optics? 

I've changed as well the "Connection Mode" but without luck.

We only have the HP virtual connect manager, no OneView.

Cheers & thanks
