I found the .img file with the MD5 I gave, is that the right image file? There is a folder in the zip file called 6012 firmware with msx62012.bin in it, so sounds like it is there?You need the image and firmware I can't remember if the firmware is in the image I've linked, but otherwise follow the steps in the guide to extract the firmware.
To answer your edit 4, yes it supports breakout cables.
EDIT: firmware, files that should be replaced and base image is included in the zip file I've linked.
Ok, I'll try to do a "dry run" by follwing the instructions for the files themselves without having a switch yet and see if it all makes sense. Can you check the MD5 of the firmware you have and see if it matches? Thanks!The .img is the base image you create early in the guide, which you need, the .bin is the firmware.
I would guess the breakout works with both optical and DAC, I use DAC breakout with my switch.
HPE image for step 1 (image-PPC_M460EX-3.6.1002.img) MD5 hash = 45BD7DD8BAF2DD49F27A348C541318E1
Linux image created in step 2 (MLNX-bare-jffs2) MD5 hash = D6B3D56498EC92E3F44D1E002540F88A
Mellanox firmware (MSX6012.bin) MD5 hash = 1F4738CBEA6F45BEC42AA3432091C7C0
Cool, thanks. So, did I not need to track down the PPC_M460EX image download? Sorry for all the questions, I don't want to be missing/wrong on what I need before buying one nor do I want to be halfway through and realize I don't have what I need and can't go back I really appreciate you answering my constant questionsHere are the MD5 hashes for the files in the ZIP I've linked.

You need the image yes, you need some of the files in it.
I've updated my post with the download links.
I have been trying to PM you, but don't know how to PM. Can you please send me hints. Thanks.Finding an EMC branded 6036 is supposed to be extremely rare. If what you have is actually a regular 6036 (mlx/hp/dell/Lenovo, running plain old mlnx-os) - don't try following the guide.
There is a different set of steps for those. PM me for hints.
Thank you! The directory is definitely correct, however using the full path to call mddbreq works. As I'm copying from the guide, a typo regarding mount points is also unlikely. Let's see how this works out.Your in the wrong directory probably or your mount points are off..check those first.. (sorry not at PC to look into path deeper)
setenv rootdev /dev/mtdblock7
saveenv
run mlxlinux
Also, activating inband management doesn't work (https://community.mellanox.com/s/ar...band-management-on-mellanox-ethernet-switches). The "interface vlan 1" command gets always rejected.----------------------------- Board Info -----------------------------

Thanks, this really helped - I'm not used to fiddling around with UBootIf you do a printenv look for the default bootcmd and compare it to the mlxlinux command. (The whole boot shell is just a long list of string substitutions. Figure out which defaultboot block is getting run.
then correct and and saveenv again.
If you can't get it...paste your printenv here.
setenv bootcmd run mlxlinux
saveenv
MX6012A [standalone: master] (config) # vlan 10
MX6012A [standalone: master] (config vlan 10) # exit
MX6012A [standalone: master] (config) # interface vlan 10
% Unrecognized command "10".
Type "interface vlan ?" for help.
