Switch Support

Note:

For technical support issues with any switches, refer to the product documentation or contact the switch manufacturer.

The HBA supports connecting to any 32/16/8 Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) switch from any vendor that follows standard FC specifications, with the following considerations:

  • Direct Access Storage for FC is supported with COMSTAR.

  • Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is not supported at data rates of 16Gb/s or faster. Instead, use point-to-point mode. However, if you manually change the HBA to the 8Gb/s or lower data rate, Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is supported.

Note:

This documentation lists switches that are specifically not supported by the HBA, when applicable.
