APA and Network cards for HP9000 servers

[Ninad_1]

Dear Experts,

I was going through some doc for APA (url - http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/adapters/apa_prodbrief.html)
which mentions support for some network adaptors. Does it mean that only these adaptors will be supported ?
Can APA support
AB290A - PCI-X dual port U320 SCSI and dual port 1000Base-T adapter (url - http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/storagesnf2/U320/specifications.html)
If not why not ? Is there any specific reason why any HP supplied network interface card cannot be used in APA ?

Regards,
Ninad

Hi Ninad,

did you check this link:

http://docs.hp.com/en/J4240-90033/index.html

(supported LAN cards)

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

This document says YES:

"... AB290A ... Supports HP Serviceguard for the whole card and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for high availability of the 1000Base-T ports."

Torsten,

You are express man and always right on target.
Thanks again. The second link mentions support for APA and SG.

Thanks,
Ninad
