There is a bug with HP FlexFabric 650FLB adapters on HP Gen 9 blades. Buggy firmware prevents HBA from properly negotiating FC protocols. HBA will fail to initiate the PLOGI (Port Login) process. Symptoms on Brocade FC switch will show FC4 type as “none” and switch would fail to detect it as initiator.
\nIf you have Brocade switch it can be confirmed via portloginshow #<\/em> command, where # is the port number where blade is connected.<\/p>\n
