Fiber Channel - ProLiant DL585 G2

[aloisiobilck]

Hello,

I need to connect the ProLiant DL585 G2 Server with an IBM EXP810 Storage. Was purchased a card qla2462 Dual-Port, 4Gbps Fibre Channelto-PCI-X 2.0 266-MHz Adapter.  

I would know if this card is compatible with my server?

I not found compatibility information from the HP website about my Server, I found information on the HP ProLiant DL585 G2 Storage.

I have included a qla2312 for testing!

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

According to server's QuickSpecs, neither the qla2462 nor the qla2312 is supported. Following is the list of supported FC adapters:

                                Description                                                                                    Part #

HP StorageWorks FC2142SR 4Gb PCI-e HBA                                                   A8002A
HP StorageWorks FC2242SR Dual Channel 4 Gb PCI-e HBA                      A8003A
HP StorageWorks FC1142SR 4Gb PCI-e HBA                                                   AE311A
HP StorageWorks FC1242SR Dual Channel 4 Gb PCI-e HBA                      AE312A
HP StorageWorks FC2143 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 -to-Fibre Channel HBA           AD167A
HP StorageWorks FC2243 Dual Channel 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 HBA                    AD168A
HP StorageWorks FC1143 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 HBA                                                AB429A
HP StorageWorks FC1243 Dual Channel 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 HBA                    AE369A

Hence, you may have to contact QLogic for drivers and firmware assistance for the cards you have mentioned as HP Driver site will not have the drivers and firmware for them.

While neither shows to be an officially supported card, there isn't any reason why they shouldn't work.
