HBA Connection Problems

[John Bloomfield]

Has anyone ever had any issues installing Fibre Channel HBA's into a pclass blade? We have installed Qlogic QLA2312 into 2 BL25p G1 servers. In both servers we are seeing port two disconnected. Each server is in a different enclosure. Both are patched into SAN Switches. Please let me if you need anymore information?

Have you installed also the GbE2 Fibre Channel mezzanine card inside the LAN switches on the sides of the enclosure? They come with the SAN connectivity kit for the p-Class bladesystem.
