Good morning,
I have just added the LPe12000 Series 8Gb Fiber Channel Adapter card in addition to my main network card to my proxmox server but I do not see it in proxmox despite it being detected in IDRAC. Is it possible to make this card functional under proximox?
 
Have same issue.

Will be appreciate if somebody help to solve this.
 
Any updates to this ? I also have a problem with the Debian OS recognising this card. As per the previous poster, I run the lspci command and I can see both ports of the HBA . I'm using a different model 10Gb HBA's in my other Proxmox servers without any issues.
I'm running Debian 12 (bookworm) an all the servers. Maybe there's a package that needs to be installed for this model - Emulex LPe120000 8GB FC HBA ?
I've checked but can't find any info about how to get this card working. I have also tried a second HBA card (same model) with the same results.
 
correct. the technology is simply different and not compatible.
you either have fibre channel, or your have ethernet.
you can not use a fibre channel card as nic.

please use a search engine of your choice and search "ethernet vs fibre channel"

Thanks all for your prompt responses - much appreciated.
I came to the same conclusion late this afternoon when I ran the lspci command on all my servers. All the one ones that work, identify as Ethernet whereas the one I'm trying to get working identifies as FC. I just assumed that anything with a SFP+ slot could connect to any network device. Just goes to show that you're never too old to learn something new.
Again many thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Viele dank!
