I was able to get two QLogic 2462, Dual Port 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA's for free and would like to connect them between two systems, but don't have a switch for them.
I'd like to put one in my R710 running Server 2012 (on ESXI) and the other in an R510 running FreeNAS. Is it possible to direct connect them between the two systems and use them to transfer data or am I dead in the water without a switch?
If this is possible, is there a way to use Link Aggregation between both ports in order to increase their transfer speed?
