You only need licenses for front ports. Rear ports work regardless.

I spent a good amount of time trying to boot from a drive connected to H240 in HBA mode. No luck. Server in question is Supermicro X9DRi-F in CSE846 with an expander backplane. Getting into card bios turned out to be impossible. If oprom is enabled, initialization errors out with the usual...

It does not sound crazy, it's exactly why I think the prices are a bit extreme. $167 shipped with both fans and power supplies - Brocade ICX6610-24-I, 24-Port 1GbE RJ45 Switch with 8× 1GbE SFP 729198002497 | eBay I want exhaust airflow types, otherwise I'll probably buy that one just for the...

Does anyone know a good place to look for spare power supplies and fans for icx6610? Ebay has a few listed, but prices look a bit extreme. Get well soon!

Could you also measure noise levels with only one fan installed?

Alright, I solved it. One of the cables was originally connected to J2. After moving it to J1 I got all 8 links from two ports.

Yes, I'm using consumer WD SATA drives. I expected to have a performance bottleneck due to expander, but 1.8GB/s from two physical ports seems way too low. Speed figures seem very similar to this thread...

What firmware version do you have on your sas2308 card? I have a server with almost exactly same hardware, just with a 2308 HBA, and my bandwidth is limited to roughly 1.8GB/s when both ports are connected and half that if I disconnect one of the ports. Backplane firmware version is...

Did anyone try to backup licenses from icx6610 over serial console? Bought a ICX6610 which happened to have one 4-port POD license and I want to back it up just in case. Found 2 license strings so far, each is present 2 times in the memory dump. Are there ways to test if the strings I found are...

Looks like it happened to me at well. Mdadm would lose 3-4 hdds at once - it totally looked like a faulty port on a controller. At first I was seeing lots of 0x31111000, but today I finally got 0x31110d00 and was able to find this solution. Turned out that I had a molex splitter on a bottommost...

Got this switch a month ago, but only started using it yesterday, after I finally got nics and fiber cables. Can't say I'm happy - switch takes 15 minutes to boot and is extremely loud even after fans spin down - can be heard behind a closed door. And I'm having same transceiver issue, just...

I wonder if there exists another switch like the well known Brocade ICX6610, something with every possible option - 1G copper, 10G SFP+, and 40G QSFP+ in one device, and reasonably priced. Juniper EX4300 comes close, but it's twice as expensive, has less SFP+ and they require a fairly expensive...

One big switch can be more efficient compared to multiple smaller ones, but it's going to be a waste if you don't use the ports.

Ouch, just bought a bunch of cx-2 not knowing it. But at $13 a piece I can't really complain.

Is $300 a reasonable price for non-poe 6610-24P with two power supplies and fans? Offered $250, seller won't go below $300.

So even in the worst possible case ICX6610 will have 8 10Gb SFP+ via QSFP breakout cables?
