That's very odd. It *should* work point-to-point. It doesn't really matter, though, as you're connecting directly to the AX150

Do you know offhand what the technical difference is between the 2 when connected directly? &nbsp;I'm just curious what would cause the green LED on the HBA to turn off when booting via point to point, where it turns green when booting in loop.

Why does point to point not work when connected directly from a W2K8 server with a QLogic QLA2342 card to an AX150? &nbsp;It only works in 'Loop'. &nbsp;Why is this?

AX150 loop vs point to point

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
