test connection HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 2P FC HBA

[Gaby1]

Is there a way to test the connection for those adapters/SFP's/Fibre Cables on a Windows Server OS ?

Hi Gaby1,
Here the clarification required on your setup such as HPE Server, Windows OS installed and current status of the HBA in ILO.

1) Check the compatiblity : The HPE SN1100Q 16GB FC HBA will support the HPE Gen9 or later servers.
2) HPE SN1100Q 16GB FC HBA is supported by the following windows OS on HPE Servers. 
     Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
     Microsoft Windows Server 2016
     Microsoft Windows Server 2019
3) See the status of the HBA in ILO. I
4) Download the latest firmware and driver the HBA. Ex: For SN1100Q 16 GB FC HBA, refer Link1  or Link2.
5) Upgrade the system using latest SPP, so that all the components will get the updated firmware.
3) Install the FCinfo.exe tool on the windows server and test whether the HBA is visible along with its WWNs. Refer the link.
