    Where can I find NMLXCLI (Mellanox Management CLI tools)

    I am trying to find the NMLXCLI vib file. I need to use this cli tool to set spoof checking off and trust on in vmware. This needs to be done in order for VLANs, SRIOV and ESX to live happily ever after! If I use PCI-PT instead of SRIOV, it works. Unfortunately, I need to use SRIOV and need to...

    Nvidia CX-7 400G NIC --- QSFP-DD to OSFP DAC?

    STH just posted an article on these nic cards. I am trying to get some clarification on the specific cable to connect a QSFP-DD switch to one of the OSFP cx-7 nics. There are 2 issues that we encountered: 1. the nic side requires an OSFP "Flat top" connector not the "Fin top" that is normally...

    AMD EPYC 9684X ES 96C168T 3D L3

    I still can't quite tell if either of these boards might work. I do see Microcode of A0 for both but not sure of the rest of the version info. The AGESA on the tyan also looks to be newer which may not be better if we are trying to get an ES chip to post.

    ipmiutil on ast2600

    does anyone know the correct syntax for adjusting the fans using ipmiutil for the newer bmc 2600 boards? I found some notes on ipmitool on the newer bmc: Cipher Suite 3 is disabled by default since BMC firmware 1.90 and only keep Cipher Suite 17 opened by default. Due to this, the extra...
