question about HP5120 using CISCO BiDi 1G optics Wil it work?

hello,

before you jump in with the obvious, why not buy a cisco switch (or HP switch) or the right optics, ETC. its not my hardware, or money. it is for a client and i do not have much say in what they do. i just need to know if it will work.

the switch is running 5.20.99 possibly, this is the info i was given, and not necessarily the actual version, however it may be HPE at the least?

Most of my Googling has told me that the Cisco GLC-BX-U/D is IEEE MSA compliant, as are the HP BIDI JD098C/JD099C SFP's. the module for the HP switch HPE 500/4800 2-pt GbE mod (JS367A) supposedly accepts all IEEE MSA SFP's and this should include the BIDI ones.

we plan to try the command: "transceiver phony alarm disable"(if its even compatible) on the HP 5120 to allow third party SFP's.
