Hi,
We have currently a FAS2554 storage with 4 port UTA. 2 Port is already configure with FC and another 2 free for CNA.
Current Current Pending Pending Admin
Adapter Mode Type Mode Type Status
------- ------- --------- ------- --------- -------
0c fc target - - online
0d fc target - - online
0e cna target - - online
0f cna target - - online
We are thinking of improving the LAN speed by performing the following:
1) Purchase a new 10GbE card and install on the Dell Server.
2) Purchase direct attached cable - Active/Passive Optical ?
3) Configure the local network with IP address between FAS2554 and Dell Server for TCP/IP communication.
Note: We dont have the budget to purchase 10Gbe switches.
Questions
1) Will the above plan work?
2) For the direct attached cable, do we need the copper twinax type or we can use the normal LC-LC cable ?
Thank you.
