Currently we direct attach the 8286-42A Power 8 to the DD6300 - no switch.

Someone else (Rob B.) posted earlier that the 8286-42A supports 16 GBs
cards.
Is 8Gbs direct attached a limit of the Power 8 server?
Thank you for the input. Bob

Well in theory the DD device might support iSCSI (I don't know, not a DD
guy) but that would let you connect to it via Ethernet instead.

Don't know why the fiber channel card won't talk. Given you have a
number of devices backing up to the DD I figure you have a switch so
that should handle speed differences.

If you have no switch, then you can't go above 8G speed on the server.
No direct attach with 16G critters.
