powerstore with Melanux switch

Question

Hi

I connect 25GB sfp+ from PS1200T to Ethernet Mellanox Switch.

The link is down and sometime go up and down for 10 sec

I check all the parameters like speed and other but did not find the problem

What can be the problem ?

Hello malamteam,

When you deployed your Powerstore system did you use the Dell PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services to configure your system? If not then here is a link to the guide as well as the link to PowerStore Info Hub. Which Mellanox switch are you using as you didn’t state that in your post.

Hello malamteam, Which ports are you connected to on your powerstore system?

Hi  port 2 and 3 on the Mezz Card

Hello malamteam, You are using a 25gbe cable and plugged into a 25gbe port on your switch, as the 25gbe port on your Powerstore1200T only supports 25gbe connection on both ends.
