Fibre Channel Compatibility

luders · Oct 30th 2020

I have a couple of HP DL360 Gen10's that currently have HPE SN1100E FC cards installed and just wanted to know if they were compatible with Open Media Vault.

Thanks in advance

fiber channel is compatible with Debian. If you formatted the LUN from the command line, I am pretty sure they would show up in the Filesystems tab in the OMV web interface. What is the device name for the LUN(s) presented to your system?

Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by device name for the LUN?

I´m not him but I think he means logical unit number. Hope this helped.

It's just an HPE DL360 Gen10 Product ID 867959-B21 with a HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 controller with about 20TB (pre RAID) of SSD

Yep, that is what I meant. Do you know what fiber channel is used for or just asking if the cards are compatible?

just wanted to know if those cards were compatible. I would expect to have to install the drivers, but are they likely to work?

The FC cards are HPE SN1100E Emulex 16GB Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters

No, you are using Linux not Windows Emulex stuff is very supported under Linux and the drivers should be in the Linux kernel.

Yes thought so as I noticed the platform is DebIan based, thanks for the confirmation
