Hello,

We currently have a VTrak E610fs s/n M42H11913500096 directly connected to an xserve 3,1 Early 2009 via a LSILogic, LSI7404EP, Firmware 1.3.23.0, EFI 1.05.06.00 card. The xserve is running OS X 10.11.6. Everything is working fine in this setup.

What we want to do is upgrade the xserve to a MacPro 6,1 (Late 2013) and use a SANLink2 8G FC to connect the VTrak to the MacPro. According to the compatibility document for the SANLink2 there seems to be some compatibility limitations. 

The compatibility document for the SANLink2 states that for a VTrak Ex10 E610f you need firmware 10.13.2270.02. The firmware on our VTrak is 10.06.2270.00 for Mac for both controllers. I've looked in the downloads section and this seems to be the highest virmware version that the Vtrak will go for Mac. 

 

Will the SANLink2 8G FC work with a VTrak Ex10 E610f with firmware 10.06.2270.00 for Mac? 

 

Thanks

Dean

I spoke to the technician directly and he assured me that the SANLink 2 8G will work with a VTrak E610fs with the latest firmware for Mac. He cautioned me that the driver for the SANLink needs to be installed on the MacPro before connecting everything together.

Thanks so much for the feedback.
