Cisco 10G switchesand EQL PS6010XV

Does anyone have recommendation for a Cisco 10G switch that can work with the EQL PS6010XV? If so, were there any issues or experiences you can share as well.
Smooth or gotchas? Thanks.

Haven't tried Cisco for our EQL SAN, but for our uplinks from blade chassis to core, we got bit by attempting to use Dell SFP+ TwinAx cables. If using SFP+, the Cisco switches detect the SFP+ module and reject any that don't specifically state Cisco on them.

Beware. Another vendor sold us "Cisco compatible" cables but our 3750X still rejected them.

We are running with Cisco NEXUS 5548p's (pricey bits of kit though!) between our Blade chasssis' and our EQL's - some fun and games with having to disable delayed ack's on the ESX hosts after the iSCSI connections kept dropping, but other than that they have been rock solid (and they work with Cisco and Dell 10g cables)

Paul, We are implementing a similar setup, what version of ESX were you guys on?  Curious if it was with vSphere 5.

Was this post helpful?
