RAIDIX are a russian company; their taxes directly and indirectly fund putin’s war machine. Hence, I ditched all instances of their software months ago.

Yep.

We use Sonnet SOLO10G SFP+ TB3 units. Expensive, but work perfectly with M1 Max/Ultra Mac Studios. I haven't found a working 25Gb solution yet...

I'm using these cards with ROMED8-2T boards. They should work with any motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation. The cables are: Supermicro CBL-SAST-0953

I wasn't brave enough and ordered a couple of allegedly genuine, new Mellanox cards from Ebay... Will see what turns up

I'm trying to find Connectx-4 dual port 25Gb MCX4121A-ACAT cards new, and failing. I have found some 'Dell Mellanox CX4121C' server pulls, which appear to be the same card. Will I be able to flash these Dell cards with the generic Mellanox firmware? Will they then function as a generic...

Wow, very impressive! Are you certain that caching is not playing a role here?

Which cables are you using to connect your drives? Have you tried forcing Gen3 link speed?

NPS set to Auto, equivalent to 1. Disabling CPU and DF C-States, enabling 'Power' determinism control, max cTDP, x2APIC and a few other tweaks had a large effect on throughput. I've also found EPYC Milan to perform better than Rome with NVME arrays. I've not tested with RAIDIX as I'm more than...

Are you sure you're bifurcating the correct slot? If so, are the drives showing up in the NVME device list within the BIOS?

Which card are you referring to?

How are you planning to present the vGPU-accelerated VMs to the end user? Is there a way to enable the physical display outputs on a GPU and assign one to a VM? If not, which method is the best to present the GUI to a user?

I’m in the UK, and we’ve procured 12x 7443P CPUs in four batches over the last 6 months, only having to wait a week or two each time. As I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, you have to put the work and effort in to source these chips. Repeated calls to multiple distributors...

Forgot to update this thread. 2x AOC-SLG4-4E4T-O driving 8x Samsung PM9A3 1.92TB U.2 Gen4 drives, in an EPYC 7443P 24-core system with 256GB 8-channel DDR4. Currently running as an 8-way RAID0 mdadm array on a Proxmox host. Quick FIO direct=1 sequential benchmark showing ~50GB/s read, ~20GB/s...

Many Mikrotik CRS3xx switches are in short supply or entirely unavailable due to the Marvell Prestera chips they're based on being hit by the silicon manufacturing capacity crisis.

I have many Mellanox ConnectX-4 25G cards on bare-metal Windows machines, which need FEC settings applied via 'mlxlink' utility in order to link to a particular switch. Trouble is, these settings do not get saved, and are lost after a reboot. How can I make sure that they are permanently applied?

mlx4_en version 4.0-0 Win10 21H2 guest VMs, WinOFED2 latest version Works OK, no Code 10/43 errors, all assigned VF devices appear normally within the Windows guest. Mellanox card is a MCX4121A-ACAT.

Rack now tidy and fully populated:

Kernel 5.15, no additional drivers installed.

I’m running several Win10 guests on a Proxmox 7 host with SR-IOV; works.
