Fiber Optic Lan card

[weblike]

Hi,

I have this scenario:

2 IBM's x3650 directly connected with Fiber Optic patch-cords in a "LAN-10G2SF-MLX QNAP Dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network expansion card". (both cable ends has fiber optic transceivers)

The problem is that in admin dashboard of the Qnap the ports appears to be disconnected.
Can anyone help with guidance here please?

Thank you in advance.

What transceivers are you using?
Check the compat list!

I have searched on qnap site but didn't found any info about this.
Thank you.

what Model of NAS and firmware/buildnumber do you have?

Can this nic to operate on SCSI mode? Now I have to specify IP's.

My Nas is TS-879RP

From what I have read, the NIC's from IBM operates with FCP-3-SCSI protocol and the NIC from NAS operates on TCP protocol. Am I right about the nic-NAS part?

You didn't answer the question, if you're using IBM GBics highly unlikely to work.

I suggest these at Qnap side. Mellanox - MFM1T02A-SR - Mellanox MFM1T02A-SR Optical Module ETH 10GbE 10Gb/s SFP+ LC-LC 850nm SR Up To 300m

Do you mean that the architecture like it is now will not work(not speaking about the trancesivers, only about the lan cards)?
If we changing the transceivers do you think will work?

Question:
Is QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02) compatible with Qnap.
If we install the same model in servers and in Qnap?

Thank you.

Err? Qnap does not support fibre channel cards/protocol.
Get a compatible 10GbE SFP+ transceiver from the compat list.

Sorry, but it really sounds like you don't know what you're doing.

Have you test the transceivers ?
