Thanks to Ed Rolison and Jason Watson. I can't say I'm a lot wiser, it looks like I'll just try it and see. Ed reckons it should work with 62.5, just with a reduced distance (175M) and that converting between different sizes is a problem. Jason makes the point that Sun souces HBAs from differnet manufacturers and maybe if you could determine the original manufacturer - you could get an answer from them. Regards, Fergus. ------------------------------------------ IIRC fibre sizes are _almost_ irrelevant. Basically the problem with using different fibre sizes is that at the transition point, you lose some signal strength (eg going from 62.5 - 50 and vice versa). So as long as you stick with the same size all the way along, you should be fine. (I don't know for certain about that card, but we've been running emulex HBAs on 50 and 62.5 micron. We've now standardised on 50, but didn't seem to have any problems during that interval.) ------------------------------------------ Usually the HBAs Sun sources come from a variety of different OEMs. Because of this, there probably is not a good way to answer your question unless you can discern who actually made the board you are using. If you don't have a lot invested in Sun's HBAs, I'd recommend looking at HBAs from Emulex or LSI Logic.
