Re: HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB Adapter Drivers and Firmware on rhel 7.2

Hello The C7000 have 2 X Virtual Connect 10/24 with firmware 4.5 on VC. Even the OA is also 4.5.

I will confirm the FOS for brocade but to answer, one of the BL 660 is running Windows Server 2012 R2 and this is working perfectly and able to login to brocade and hence storage. We are thus somehow sure its something about redhat drivers.
