[Avid-L2] Re: ATTO Celerity FC-41ES Fibre Card Issue on macs

Maybe you can try to check the logs from the Qlogic Switch for the corresponding port. I've also encountered a lot of strange SFPs from finisar, but those were only on the switch, not on atto boards

In the last year, I have started to see a very strange thing happening and I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Since the arrival of 10.5, when I install a card there is 30% chance that the fibre connection will not be made and the LEDS will not light up. I can swop the cards around I can be sure the I will find one that works. There is no ryhme or reason that I can see as all the macs have the same installs and and are virtually all old 2.66ghz. When I take a particularly stubborn card to a PC it works fine. I have tried all the configs relevant to the ATTO config tool and the system profiler always sees the card. Does anyone else have this sort of rather frustrating problem?
