Can someone confirm that these Brocade card and cables can work with other cards as well? I would like to direct connect a Brocade card to one I have in my Dell C6100.

This has been resolved... Xenserver configuration was done wrong, needed to use ifcfg-xenbr3 instead of ifcfg-eth3... Thanks

Yes, adapters show up and say connected. Could my twinax cable just not allow this type of direct connection? I am loading centos on both boxes now and will test again..

Is this configuration correct? Does something special need to be done?

Here are the public interfaces: DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:A0:D1:E3:D8:xx TYPE=Ethernet UUID=e62e42b4-4691-4f4a-8aa6-471c4289abbd ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=66.xx.xx.xx NETMASK=255.255.255.128 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:a0:d1:e3:da:05 TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes...

Right but will those cables allow for direct connection between cards? I am still trying to figure out if you need a special cable or special configuration. Thanks

Wow that is expensive... I was looking for a cable that will work that is $50 not $1300....

Can you link me to the cable you have? Does it come in a twinax cable?

Do you have the twinax cable hooked up directly to the two cards or did you go through a switch? Thanks

I currently have two 10 Gigabit SFP+ Dual Port (DPN TCK99) cards in Dell C6100s and have them directly connected with a 1 meter SFP+ twinax cable and cannot get any connectivity to go between the two. They are setup with 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.10 and they cannot ping each other, they have...

I sent you a PM.

I bought it from a guy on Ebay, not sure if he wants to be named or not. If you are interested I can let him know. C6100 3.5 Chassis (4 x motherboards and 1 power supply) 32GB Ram 8 L5520 CPUs 8 Heat sink 1 power supply 1 LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i (DPN 03NDP) 1 Fanout cable 12 drive trays...

We decided to go with dual 10GB SFP cards, hopefully this will give us the performance we need. I just ordered my server, now waiting for it to come in.

If I wanted to use one node as a iscsi target, would it be worth going with the QDR or Infiniband DDR over normal Fiber connection?
