Hello group,
I am trying to evaluate use of fibre channel switched fabric. But I am not able to get it working (openSUSE Leap 15.1). I would appreciate, if anybody knows something or where to find (working) instructions. All instructions I found refer to old/or proprietary drivers/methods (kernel 2.6 or older).
I use following hardware: -HP branded (AE312 - 60001) QLogic Corp. ISP2432 4G HBA PCIe -IBM branded (2005-B16) Brocade 200E 16 Port FC switch -DS14MK2 Disk Shelf All of those products are EOS and I am not able to get proprietary drivers or firmware updates.
We moved away from fibre a long time ago (it wasn't cost effective for our needs), but at the time we were using Qlogic HBAs and HP switches to connect to HP storage arrays and Storagetek tape drives. I don't recall having to use any proprietary drivers. ISTR something about licenses for the fibre switch, as well as proprietary firmware for the storage arrays. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
