Not my first time posting, but first thread I've started. Sorry if it's in the wrong category.
Hardware:
All Dell EMC². Product names unknown.
2× CX-ATA-DAE-FD 100-560-521
2× CX-2PDAE-FD 100-560-321
My brother acquired some old Dell EMC² hardware that we intend to turn into a small SAN for experimentation. We've run into a bit of a road block since we're inexperienced with fibre channel. We're also unable to find any documentation on these systems. We're hoping someone here is experienced in these systems.
Although we've found HDDSC2 to SFP+ cables, we're having trouble with the HDDSC. I've looked up the pinouts of both connectors and they seem identical. I'm not sure if the software protocol is different between the two.
Where would I be able to find information on these? Dell seems to have the entire EMC branch cut out to exclusively EMC customers.
Also, could anyone provide any tips on setting these up?
