25MB FCOM/100MB GBIC compatibility

2007-12-25 10:55:00

Orginial questions follows:

The answer is that the newer 100MB/s GBIC interfaces will not work with the

older Sun SSA storage arrays with their 25MB/s interface.

Thanks

Original question:

Is anyone aware of the compatibility of using the second generation 100MB/s

GBIC

modules from Sun for attaching the older SSA arrays, i.e. SSA model 114,

which

originally used the 25MB/s FCOM modules?

We have picked up several SSA's in great working order but no 25MB/s Fiber

channel host bus adaptors and would like to know if we can purchase the

100MB/s

GBIC versions. Is there going to be a problem with the mismatch in speed or

frequencies used?
