We have a FC MCC with ATTO 7500N bridges... we can see that X1613B is EOS but X1706A is not... but how do you determine which brigde you have? They both report 7500N in the "system bridge show" ?

#

BTW: Is Fabric MCC dead? I can't seem to configure it in Fusion unless I use Legacy controllers...

yeah, the new controllers don't support fabric MC anymore. I think the last one that did was the FAS8300 or thereabouts

#

IP Metro is the future 🙂

#

X1613B is the ATTO 7500N, X1706 is the ATTO 7600N. The 7500 is not supported anymore, but the 7600 is

#

I think you can get an fPVR to extend support for the 7500N

9.16.1 will not boot with 7500N, had to abort my update and only updated to the latest 9.14.1

yeah there's a trick to that, an fPVR can give you the option to re-enable support for the 7500 bridges

Ahh okay. Didn’t know that.

#

yeah they didn't communicate that very well when support ended. People didn't expect their disks to not show up anymore after an update

This customer might need the fPVR is there a quick way to submit that, or is it just to open a support case?
