Failed:Error disabled - SFP vendor not supported on Fabric Interconnect 6248UP

[evertdriessen]

We are connecting a FC-uplink on a Fabric Interconnect 6248UP to a MDS9124. On the Fabric Interconnect side we use a 8Gbps SFP (DSpSFP-FC8G-SW) on the MDS9124 side there is a 4 Gbps SFP.This should work when speed is at fixed speed 4 Gbps on both sides (I was told). When the SFP's and cabling is connected I get an error in the UCS manager on the FC-uplink port we are using:

Failed:Error disabled - SFP vendor not supported.

I cannot change the speed on the FC-Uplink ( I can only set user-label). The Fabric Interconnect is configured for FC on the last 8 ports and that is where the SFP for the storage is located (port 31).

Hello,

Please provide outpuf of the following commands

show system firmware expand | head lines 10

connect nxos

show int fc 1/X

show int fc 1/X transceiver details

OK, it was a human error. 10Gb SFP were on accident switched with the 8 Gb SFP's, so the 10Gb were put in the fiber ports and the 8Gb SFP in the ethernet one. Because the network was not allready attached we did not see that. But still "vendor not supported"is a strange error, for being completely the wrong SFP.

I have a similar problem.  I'm using port 1/41 and gets this output
