Data Sheet for Qlogic QL45212H Dual Port 40Gb NIC (UCSC-PCIE-QD40GF) for vSphere ESXi

[Amit Vyas]

Hi,

I have a C Series server (C240-M4L) with UCSC-PCIE-QD40GF Card, I am unable to find data sheet for this particular card, I want to know which ESXi version this card will support with what kind of drivers ?

Regards,

Your questions is also dependent on the firmware installed on the server, the CPU model, as well as whether it is integrated into UCSM or running in standalone.  The best answer to your question here that I can give is the following link:

https://ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com/public/

This is the HCL that will allow you to plug in data from your current setup, it will then provide information on which hardware is supported, the OS versions that are available for your use, and the proper firmware and drivers to utilize.  With this tool you will be able to be sure that what you are running is tested by Cisco and proven to perform reliably.  In addition to that, it will ensure that your system will be supported by TAC without the necessity to adjust firmware when working through a problem.

Thanks!

For example, I have a firmware running with 4.0(1) version with v4 CPU which is integrated with UCSM, but in the interoperability matrix this virtual card is not present to show any relevant drivers or firmware to be associated, hence I asked for data sheet.
