dual port Fibre Channel HBAs

[Gopinath_3]

Does HP have dual port FC HBA's?
The ones I have (A5158A) are single ported.

Secondly, does anyone else make FC HBAs for HP?

HBA's offered by HP...

...they don't appear to offer a dual port one, and do not certify any third party vendors cards that I could find.

HI Gopinath,

To my knowledge, I haven't seen any dual port HBAs so far. Interestingly, even if you have dual ports, the channel should support 2 GB bandwidth which I guess is not possible even on the superdome.

JNI has a dual port FC.

HP is supposedly certifying it (or has according to my local HP person), as supposedly, is EMC. I beat them every week, but the beatings aren't taking, so I may resort to further violence, like a 10 minute timeout in the corner....

I'm going to buy a few anyways within the next month, hook them up, and just prove it for myself.

I use also JNI single port (cant remember if its FCE-6410..) I saw the dual port and soemeone lent me one to try but one port was busted...
We have a cluster with 2 L2000 where I mixed JNIs and HP5158...
Each machine has 2 5158 and 2 JNIs

All the best
