Still the MSA  2070 doesnot has  32G FC connectiivty

The Gen 11 Servers only listed  32 FC HBA

Customer   asking - why you using 32GB HBA  sinc eyour Storage doesnt support

hi
you are right
Server DL380 g11
Only hba supports 32GB. I put HBA card AJ764 8gb and QW972 16gb it didn't work
These cards should be allowed to work on the server because someone may have an old 8GB or 16GB storage or SanSwitch.
Of course, there is one point
If you have a 32GB HBA card, for example, SN1610 2port 32GB, then connect it to a San switch or storage with a lower speed. is connected But HP company should put an update in the new version of SPP G11 to allow 8gb-16gb HBA cards to work on the server.

A. wrong forum to vent about the server team product decisions
B.  HPE 8Gb and 16Gb HBAs are End of Life and no longer available to be bought from HPE.  This is why Gen 11 servers do not support them as you can not buy new to put in the server.
