How to validate if the driver for this HBA is compatible with switch

Hello,

I checked the patch panel, cable, sfp, switch, and for the life of me I cannot get these switch ports to turn on. The only constant variable is that all the new servers are running the same firmware, hba. The server sees the HBAs running normally, although they are not turned on. When I enable the port, I get a "not connected" error. I have checked all my connections, are fine, and attached another server to the patch panel and it came up. The windows folks are blaming the switch code. I have attached the firmware version.

The HBAs are 8GB, switch is 8GB compatible - MDS 9148. The HBAs are LPe12002-M8 firmware below. The switch is running IOS 5.2(6a). - Thanks in advance! Admingirl
