any help greatly appreciated... warning... n00b at this ...
Ok so I'm new to this and I have a test lab at work.
I have 4 esxi 6.7 boxes - will get to them later
a windows 10 pc (dell precision 5810)
Our guys were getting rid of a mess of hardware so I grabbed it and figured time to play around.
I stuck a mellanox card in the win10 box and drivers installed, albeit, MS drivers. but it seems to be good?
I also connected a cable to the switch and the light on the switch lit up but in win10 the NIC says cable unattached.
switch - Flextronics F-x430066 8 Port 4x SDR Infiniband
cable - Mellanox Mcc4l30-300 Microgigacn Latch 0.3 M Infiniband Cable
cards - HPE InfiniBand 4X DDR Conn-X PCI-E G2 Dual Port HCA (483514-B21)
so few questions...
what is needed on win10 side other than what I have done?
if I put another card in a secondary pc, and just attach both to the switch, just give static IP's and that is it?
so out of the manual... I get the green light with just the cable from pc to switch and nothing else to switch...
The GREEN LED indicator to the left of each port will light when the physical connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into the port with a functioning port plugged into the other end of the connector)
