Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum.
I have bought some HP Branded CX455 IB/Ethernet 100g Single port QSFP28 Cards. and 7 Mtr QSFP28 Active Fiber cables. these work great with the IB switch I have.
Now i have a requirement for running VMWare and after breaking my head for over 2 weeks I learned that VSphere 7 has no support for the Mellanox CX455 in IB mode and it only supports ethernet mode at 100G. Now I plan to run a Virtual Lab for which I need VMware and since i have NVME U2 Drives - 4-5 per server. I want to be able to run these at the best speed possible. I got myself a SN2100 but it refused to work and the seller is not responding as it too time to get the stuff shipped to my country.
I first shipped to my virtual address in USA and from there i used the USA2me and got it and it does not work DAAM. I spent over 500-600 USD on shipping and Customs alone over and above the USD1000 on the SN2100 and it does not work.
I have seen the below options.
EDGE-CORE-7512-32X-100GBE
EDGE-CORE-7412-32X-100GBE
EDGE-CORE-7712-32X-100GBE
Celestica Seastone DX010 32-Port 100G QSFP28
Arista DCS-7060CX-32X - Now this says QSFP100 - not sure if its the same as QSFP28.
I just want to run VSphere + VSAN 7
Can somebody guide me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
