We're trying to get our X520-DA2 NICs to talk with our HP2910al switch with NO luck. Perhaps someone has some suggestions.
Switch has the J9008A 10GB uplink.
HP direct SFP+ cable (1M) won't show a link light & no connectivity NIC just disables. HP insists we need to use HP cables
Intel direct SFP+ cable (1M) will show a link light, but we cannot ping anything. Intel insists we need to use Intel cables.
Installed latest drivers from Intel (v18 - Jan11/2013)... still no luck
so... now have HP and Intel pointing fingers at each other. Suggestions ?
