CNA adapters for DL360 and DL380 plus servers

[ArsenAstezh]

Hi everyone,

I can't see FCOE/CNA adapters available for DL360 plus and DL380 plus servers! is there a specific reason for that?

I am looking at servers with 4Tb RAM total capacity and capable of containing the following network adapters

2x dual Ethernet 10G; 2x dual FC 16Gbs; 2x dualFCoE 10G

Can someone suggest what server lineup I have to be looking at instead?

so you may get any of this adapters just fine:

HPE Eth 10Gb 2p 535FLR-T Adptr

this are pretty solid servers with great performance and resiliency.

I went through the links, didn't find any relevant information on FCoE adapters.

Hi @feigenL ,

appreciate the info you provided! It doesn't answer my question though! Do DL360 plus and DL380 Plus servers support FCOE adapters for these servers? where do I find them?
