I've got a CL1850R. I've been working on getting this box up to speed. In each node, I've got the SCSI Card installed for the shared storage. I also put in a Smart 221 to control the pair of 9.1GB drives on each node. The third slot has a RILOE. And in the final slot, I installed a NC6134 Gigabit NIC. I've gotten the first node up and running with Win2k Advanced. On the network side of things, I have a Cisco 3524. This switch has 2 GBIC slots, into which I installed Cisco 30-0759-01 1000 Base-SX GBIC's. The cable I'm using has the following written on it:
CORNING OPTICAL CABLE - 02/01 - 62.5/125 MICRON - TBII - OFNR (UL) - OFN FT4 (CSA)
The cable has paird SC/SC connectors on each end.
The problem I'm having is...I can't get the NIC to link on the switch. The NIC and switch's ports both seem to be active...on each end, the transmit portion has a red beam. And when I hook the cable up, I can see the light coming through. I've tried both GBIC's, I've tried 3 different NICs on the server, I even tried a different cable.... What am I doing wrong? Hopefully it's something simple.
And yes, Win2K has a valid and correct (I would assume...) driver installed.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
