I can't get my Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards to passthrough to esxi VMs on my Intel C2600CP. It's added to the list of Passthrough devices, and I've got it assigned to the VM, but it never successfully initializes. In both FreeBSD and UbuntuServer guest it complains about being unable to assign an IRQ.
My current suspicion is that it's related to the PCI reset. I've updated to the latest firmware for the NIC and messed around in the /etc/vmware/passthru.map with all the different reset methods (flr,d3d0,link,bridge) but I still get no joy.
I'm about ready to give up, as everything I've seen on the internet leads to a dead end. Does anyone have any ideas? Or at least have an example of this working with similar hardware?
