QLogic QLE220 HBA

[james]

Has anyone used QLogic QLE220 HBA with ESX Server 3.0.1 and Dell/EMC AX150 SAN successfully If not which HBA would you recommend instead?

Thanks for your help.

I am using QLA2432 after huge problems with Dell recommending the wrong adapters - QLE220 which also didn't work they were replaced with QLA2432.

Take a look there...the QLA220 is not supported...nor is the QLA2432 from what I can see, but I only looked quickly.

I use the QLE2462 in my machines, which have PCI-E slots.

I also wouldn't expect too much of the AX150...Take a look:

My mistake - they are in fact PCI-E QLE2460

Thank you all for responses and links regarding the AX150, very interesting.

No problem. I have just (and still am) in the process of implimenting an AX150 along with a few Poweredge 2950 servers. Feel free to ask further questions - I've had lots of fun re-imaging the AX150, fxing split-brain problems, getting it to work with Vlan tagging etc etc
