SFP needed for appliance storage interface UCS

[CiscoNovice011]

The question is pretty much in the title. I have tried multiple SFPs we have here, and I am getting SFP validation failed for an appliance port.

Thank you

Have you checked if that SFP is supported below or on the documentation?

Might want to post the actual SFP exact model, which FI models and code level, in addition to checking the already mentioned https://tmgmatrix.cisco.com/ matrix.

It looks like the SFPs that they shipped us FTLF8536P5BCV which are 25GB SFPs, the FI appliance interface on the UCS-FI-6248up has options for 1 and 10 GB. I replaced the SFPs on the Tintri and the FI with SFP-10G-SR-S, adjusted the speed to 10GB and I was able to get activity on the Tintri.

So, the answer to my question was yes, it was SFPs not being able to communicate and that was because of the mismatching speed.
