    Looking for a Connectx-3 custom firmware package

    @ Hi Gabriel, Do you have opensm (or another SM running ?) If I understand correctly, you need infiniband connections between is5030 and CX3 cards using QSFP+ dacs (good for 40g IB or ethernet). you could mod the ini to one for infiniband or VPI ports. Maibe try to pass the right parameters to...

    Mellanox ConnectX-3 firmware tweaks QDR - QSFP+

    You have to pay attention to the transceiver type and the chip type - pro vs non pro (it’ll not boot and have to go through recovery). Easieast way would be to use the ini/bin from the card you’re targeting. If you load the mlx4_en module, does the card show ?

    FreeNas/TrueNas RDMA Support (FR for voting)

    Another piece of info regarding the switch - I haven't set up anything for QOS. It's a dumb switch ...

    FreeNas/TrueNas RDMA Support (FR for voting)

    I've migrated 2 machines from core 13 to scale up to latest version. I haven't noticed any difference in performance. IMHO, zfs + zvol isn't where it should be performance wise. In fact I'm exploring other options for nvme drives other than zfs, but that is for another thread. I've also got...

    FreeNas/TrueNas RDMA Support (FR for voting)

    I just wanna say that as of 22.12 release of TrueNAS SCALE, RDMA is doable in a few steps. 1. Add RDMA support to the system - I've went with OFED package from Mellanox Nvidia : Mellanox OFED (MLNX_OFED) Software: End-User Agreement - add kernel support, enable nvmf and (optional) nfsover rdma...

    Looking for a Connectx-3 custom firmware package

    If there aren’t changes to parameters, it should work.

    Looking for a Connectx-3 custom firmware package

    @Rand__ - you beat me to it. @dazagrt - you can extract the ini. Usually, the headers and comments will provide the answer. Other way - check mfg/vendor id

    40gb nic split to 4 10G port ?dream come to true ?

    Well, to add to this topic. I've managed to update to the latest version available in the "synergy" package from hpe - 8.50.44 I've yet to make more tests under linux, but, so far, it's still locked at 4x25G.

    More custom Mellanox firmware tips

    I thing the last cx2 (sometimes also confused with cx1 - only revision number is different) has a latest of 2.10.720 that can be generated from mellanox. a 2.11.x might be with some modifications done by sun/oracle. I wouldn't expect someone from oracle jumping in and at least shedding some...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    I've bricked a 6015 this way ... see if you have a console port to get to some kind of bootloader, or try and see if it has a recovery switch to try and flash it over IB. The guide here for 6xxx managed switches could provide you with valuable hints for what to try and how.

    40gb nic split to 4 10G port ?dream come to true ?

    Pretty much as I stand. I've had to put a hold on this project for a bit (production is on mellanox cx3pro). Can you detail the recovery option ? I'm willing to give it a go. PM me if you feel uncomfortable to post in the open :) LE: for me, what I'm trying to achieve is make the port 1x40 or...

    40gb nic split to 4 10G port ?dream come to true ?

    Hello, I also have a pair of 620qsfp28 adapters from hpe. I can't update the firmware to the stock qlogic one - I've only managed to advance a few versions with binaries from HP. Is there a way to crossflash/force flash ? The reason I ask and the pain is giving me is that it doesn't seem to...
