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 connection lights and show connected in the operating systems. I am currently using Openfiler and Xenserver but will be installing CentOS on both servers for more testing. Has anyone been able to get this to work with two FC cards directly connected to each other? Is there a special cable or special eth configuration that needs to be done? 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..
This has been resolved... Xenserver configuration was done wrong, needed to use ifcfg-xenbr3 instead of ifcfg-eth3... Thanks
