...Some of us feel like it has only been a month or so! (but thanks for starting it ;))
For anyone interested, I received the replacement 'generic' 1.5m FS.com DAC - it works well! (It does report itself as a 3m length this time though...)
So... it turns out I had a busted NIC in my workstation. Doh!
Replaced both with s/hand HP 546sfp+ dual cards and now comfortably hit 9.4Gbit/s with 1500 MTU. :cool:
Lol. That is classic.
I was more worried they would be locked to only fibre channel or specific vendor or other limitation.
Good to know. I've previously only run Mellanox cards - but for whatever reason they are suddenly more expensive than some of the alternatives!
I've got no answer for you (have a similar issue) - but my first thought was the number of retries showing up on your slower iperf3 test. Is there an MTU mismatch or something causing fragmentation or similar?
Hi All,
Anyone happen to have any information on Solarflare SFN7501 cards? Is it suitable for 'normal' 10Gb SFP+ ethernet use? - or am I missing something?!
I was looking at the SFN7322F/SFN7122F/SFN7022F which all seem to utilise the same controller (SFC9120)... I just can't find the SFN7501...
Thanks. Yup will watch the temps pretty closely. Currently sitting at 75degC on light load ;-s.
I too trialed an intermediate solution: I used one of the Delta FFB0412VHN (9500rpm, 45dBA) fans on back and front, along with 2x Noctuas. Unfortunately it resulted in a weird pulsing frequency...
Not sure what manual you are referring to but I can confirm that an HPE J9285B (7m) is not 'Aruba Certified' but is working none the less:
GE0/1/0

Vendor Name : MergeOptics Gmb

Vendor Part Number...
Thanks All. I've joined the club with an S2500-48P. Fashionably late to the party - but these still seemed to be great value (despite being complete overkill in my home environment). I could have gotten away with a 24P but those listed were more expensive!
Firmware update was easy via USB...
