NetApp FAS2050 - QLE2464 - System not recognizing QLE2464 (4-Port) FC Card in expansion PCI-E slot.
Hardware: FAS2050 - Dual controllers
ONTAP: 7.3.3
System has working QLE2462 (2-port) FC card in expansion PCI-E slot. No issues. Tried upgrading the card to the QLE2464 (4-port) system does not recognize it. Card lights up, that's about it.
Iadfas02: cf takeover
Pulled iadfas01 controller. Installed new 4 port card. Reinstalled controller.
Iadfas02: cf giveback
At this point the system did not recognize the new card. Decided to investigate further and roll back to the original configuration for the time being.
Iadfas02: cf takeover
Pulled iadfas01 controller. Installed 2 port card. Reinstalled controller.
Iadfas02: cf giveback

Any thoughts?

Do you see the HBA in sysconfig or are you only having an issue when you do cluster failover?

The HBA did not show up in sysconfig when it was installed.

Are the following adapters not the QLogic QLE2464?
X1130A-R6
X2054A-R6
X1130A-R6
The supported adapters listed appear* to be the same card i'm working with. Is this just a matter of the configuration of the card that makes it a target or initiator?
Is this the same card that NetApp has re-branded or do I have a different HBA that will not work?
Thanks
