MDS-9124 unsupported SFP Transceivers

[michel-daniel]

Hello

We have a Cisco MDS-9124 FC Fibre Switch and some 3th-pard SFP Transceiver.

The MDS now show that these SFP Transceivers are unsupported an the port shows as failed.

I found in Google that there should be a hidden command line interface command that enables support for these transceivers, called:

service unsupported-transceiver

But on my system, this command is not working, unknown command.

The OS running on the Appliance is a SAN-OS 3.3

How we can add the support for non-cisco SFP Transceivers on this system?

Thanks you very much for any help

The latest release 3.3.5b is dated April 2011 !

There exists also a EOL announcement (not for Support !)

Could well be, that it is a Version issue; I think you have no other choice: Cisco Transceiver !
