Procurve 2910 al - CX4 10G connectivity

[Prasanth V Aravind]

Hi,

I have two pro-curve switches (2910 al ) & each have two 10Gbe al interconnect modules (J9165A).

Can i use this ports to make 10Gbe connectivity with a storage device ???

Or am i need to get a 10Gbe cx4 al module (J9149A) installed on this switch.

Interconnect module have a CX4 port , but my doubt is does it support CX4 connectivity from other devices (p4500 storage)??

I tried to connect this port with storage & the port status was showing down ...

what can be the possible reason...


Regards
Prasanth
