E2824 / 10GBase-T interface / direct attach with Cat6A patch cable

[imadam]

Server has ThinkSystem Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter and we would like to connect it directly without 10Gb switch with Netapp E2824 storage. Can't find in documentation this is supported so I wanted to ask here. Anybody with this kind of setup?

Hi there!

Please review - https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2773537 - page 57 onwards. This is a supported configuration.

Hope this helps!

@AlexDawson , I have seen this. However, recently we have found some errors in Netapp documentation so I had to double check here whether somebody is using it like this 😊 ...
