San Fabric on two different switches

Hello we did a san switch migration and have one leg on a 2Gbps ED140M and the other on a 8Gbps MDS 9506 will this create any issue to the hosts or the storage

    it will work ok, it's just you will not have balanced utilization. Is PowerPath running on these hosts ?

    and also I have a weird problem when I have migrated one leg 4 ports from NS960( 2 SP A, 2 SP B) the SP B ports came up on the fabric with the normal 8Gbps but the SPA ports came up with 4Gbps..all of them support 8Gbps and the ports on the san switch have the same configuration. Do you know what might be the problem.

    Regards,

    yes for the SP A ports attached switch interfaces I find

    Supported speeds are - Min speed: 1000 Mb/s, Max speed: 4000 Mb/s


    for SP B  ports attached switch interfaces


    Supported speeds are - Min speed: 2000 Mb/s, Max speed: 8000 Mb/s


    are these the SFP actual speeds...

    do you have 8G capable SFPs in the switch ?

    sh int fc1/1 transceiver (use your blade/port number)

    look for this line: Supported speeds are - Min speed: 1000 Mb/s, Max speed: 4000 Mb/s
