1. How fast can the 16GFC gear go?
   • Line rate to a ramdisk without even trying hard.
2. Does NPIV work? (Not on the first try.)
   • It fails the same way the 8GFC gear did… if we get it working here, can we get it working there?
   • it's wwpn:wwnn. The port number comes first.
3. Can it use old optics and work the same way at lower speeds?
   • Yes.
4. Does it use less power that way?
5. Can they speak NVMe?
6. Can I boot NVMe?
7. Does it make sense to export ZFS via NVMe instead of iSCSI?

Download from Marvell or find it in ~/Library/hardware/qlogic-2xxx. Installing the .deb on Debian 12 created a problem for me where it couldn't find libncli.so.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 /opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI/qaucli

…or install the RPM instead.

• If you see “IO_PAGE_FAULT” in dmesg every 5 seconds, add “iommu=pt” to the kernel command line. It's probably specific to EPYC CPUs.
• The 26xx cards are perfectly happy to boot MBR drives in BIOS mode.
• The 26xx cards do not have dual personality. They are storage-only.
• The ports are BACKWARDS!!! RAGE
