CX4 Support to IBM Flex Chassis

Hi,

I have a customer that has purchased an IBM Flex Chassis.

He has a FC attahced CX4 and would like to know if the CX4 can be connected to the IBM Flex using Converged Switch?

the Switch is a Converged 10GB CN409310GB with 10GB Ethernet and Omni Ports as well with FC transceiver.

Can some please let me know if they have connected a CX4 to a Flex Chassis before?

Look forward to your response.

Kind regards

    I haven’t use one myself.. but looking at the documentation, you can set the Omni ports (assuming they are licensed correctly) to FC mode and do one of two things..

    1.) Connect a storage array directly to the Omni Port similar to any other FC switch connection. Then perform any zoning within the IBM Flex switch itself.

    2.) Configure the Omni Port in NPV mode, connect it to an existing Cisco or Brocade fabric, and zone the host HBAs inside the PureSystem to the array using the Cisco/Brocade tools.
