Microsoft Windows Essential Business Server 2008 Premium Edition.The QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) supports the following operating systems: Note that the DS3400 storage solution operates at 4 Gbps. The cable part numbers are not listed in Table 4. This configuration also requires cabling between the chassis and the storage server and between the storage server and expansion units. The Fibre Channel expansion card goes in the place of the SAS expansion card that is needed to connect to the DSMs. However, by doing so, you lose the ability to connect to the BladeCenter S DSMs. *Note: The expansion card can be installed in servers in the BladeCenter S (8886). Optional: IBM System Storage EXP3000 (Single or Dual ESM) IBM System Storage DS3400 (Single or Dual Controller) The Fibre Channel expansion card goes in the place of the SAS expansion card that is needed to connect to the DSMs.īladeCenter HS22 or other supported server However, by doing so, you lose the ability to connect to the BladeCenter S Disk Storage Modules (DSMs). The QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) can be installed in servers in the BladeCenter S and used with supported switch modules as shown in the table.The external ports operate at up to 8 Gbps (or 4 Gbps for 4 Gb switch modules). (†) When any of these switch modules that have the dagger indicator symbol (†) is installed in BladeCenter HT, the internal switch connections to blade ports are supported at 4 Gbps.(*) When any of the switch modules that have an asterisk (*) is installed in BladeCenter T, the internal switch connections to blade ports operate at 2 Gbps.The BladeCenter Optical Pass-thru Module, 39Y9316, is not supported.McDATA 4 Gb 10-Port Fibre Channel Switch ModuleĬonsider the following restrictions regarding the use of the switch modules in Table 3: McDATA 4 Gb 20-Port Fibre Channel Switch Module QLogic 4 Gb 10-Port Fibre Channel Switch Module QLogic 4 Gb 20-Port Fibre Channel Switch Module Supported I/O modules (operate at 4 Gbps)Ĭisco 4 Gb 20-Port Fibre Channel Switch ModuleĬisco 4 Gb 10-Port Fibre Channel Switch Module Supported I/O modules (operate at 8 Gbps)īrocade Enterprise 20-port 8Gb SAN Switch Module for BladeCenterīrocade 20-port 8Gb SAN Switch Module for BladeCenterīrocade 10-port 8Gb SAN Switch Module for BladeCenter I/O modules recommended for use with the QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) However, the card must operate at the 4 Gbps rate. The card also supports 4 Gb Fibre Channel switch modules and the 4 Gb Intelligent Pass-thru Module. Table 3 lists the supported I/O modules that can be used to connect to the expansion card. The QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) requires that a supported I/O module is installed in bay 3 and bay 4 of the chassis in which the cards and servers are installed.
