can you test if the transceivers are working?

I know that the brocade cards were really picky and were not compatible to transceivers that were not brocade branded.

If I remember right this changed with newer firmware when QLogic took over.

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware?

 

[bds1904]

Afaik Only brocade trancievers will work in the brocade card.

The transiever you speced will work in a connect-x2 card however.

[Kristian]

and it is still not working?

 

[Fitsum Taye]

yep, still not working.

 

[kirlcheah]

Just a stupid question. Did you install the drivers for the ESXI? For Brocade 1020?

 

[Fitsum Taye]

I have just upgraded it to QLogic BR-1020 and still do not work

 

[Fitsum Taye]

Sorry about this, but can i use QLogic BR-1020 adapter with "FTLX8571D3BCL" sfp which is accept fiber cable connection.
