Final results that I'm willing to try out: Brocade modules do not work with this model of ConnectX-4 either. The only thing I can get working is Mellanox programmed transceivers.
Port 1/4/1:
Vendor: RUCKUS Version: A
Part# : 57-1000267-01 Serial#...
lol you guys should untuck your shirts every once in a while.
Still don't want to admit you were wrong though huh? It's not so hard, big man.
This is the top SEO because there were no resources on this before me. The algorithm doesn't lie.
I'm simply out here contributing to the knowledge...
Is the CLI for switches or for PCIE cards? I'm talking about PCIE cards.
Good to know. I haven't gotten mine to connect via Ethernet Mode with anything other than Mellanox, but maybe the Lx variant of my card is slightly different than your ConnectX-5. The drivers link out the same, but I...
Yes, precisely. This is between a PCIE card and a Brocade ICX 7450 switch port with 2 KAIAM optical modules.
Even directly connecting does not work between two ConnectX-4 Lx cards using the KAIAM modules.
ConnectX-4 Lx do not work with KAIAM modules:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx] [15b3:1015]
Kernel driver in use: mlx5_core
Kernel modules: mlx5_core
show media ethernet 1/3/1
Port 1/3/1: Type : 40GE-LR4 2km (QSFP+ LC)...
You ended up being right! Mellanox transceivers are all I've been able to get working with these.
I'll make a support matrix next week after some testing and post it here. Thank you for the insight. I would never have guessed.
Still not able to get this to stick, but thanks for the link! Somehow I've gotten SRIOV working and ethernet enabled despite the firmware disagreeing. See quote. Will try flashing / updating firmware to see if that changes anything. See you in the other thread ;)

Yes in the end I went the module route for part of it, sysfs for the eth enablement, and the mellanox config tool for SRIOV. Strange combination.
/etc/modprobe.d/mlx4_core.conf looks like
options mlx4_core num_vfs=2 port_type_array=2 probe_vf=2
mstconfig -d set SRIOV_EN=1 NUM_OF_VFS=2
and
Got some X3 VPI cards in

Apply new Configuration? (y/n) [n] : y

-E- Failed to set configuration: Failed to get default parameters...
I agree. I was fully expecting HP flashed NICs when I bought these and got these instead.
Thank you very very much for the insight and references. I would never have known this. I appreciate your help. I've flopped between it being the cards, the fiber, the transceivers and the switch about 100...
