Hello
I am so pleased HP was able to help you with your needs, as with your question on why the 10Gbps Ethernet links cannot slow down to 1Gbps like the 1/2/4/8Gbps Fibrechannel links can do. Unfortunately I do not have the information but if you would like to talk to an HP Server specialist for more information on fiberchannel I am happy to arrange a meeting. Please let me know if you would like that arrangement or any other issue I may be able to help you with.
