Hi folks,
Just got 4 ConnectX dual 10gb sfp+ adapters and wanted to start building my new freenas box. Installation went fine, however I am getting kernel panics as soon as the dhclient tries to touch any of the adapters. having the mgmt 1gb configured, I re-inserted the adapters and the system boots up fine (as the dhclient now doesn't try to do anything with them anymore).
The interfaces shows up in FreeNAS UI but as soon as I configure one of them, kernel panic again.
Now, the seller stated it was "IBM Mellanox ConnectX EN Dual-Port 10GbE PCI-E x8 w/o GBIC - 59Y1906" adapters, however during bootup I see that the "VPI" driver is booted up? I also tried to use ESOS with these and there it looks like I am being given 4 Infiniband addresses (since I have 2 adapters with 2 ports).
I have seen people having posted that the ConnectX adapters work in FreeNAS, but perhaps this was only for the "EN" version and not "VPI"? I guess I could return the cards and get some X520-DA2's instead but is there perhaps any way to flash these to "Ethernet-Only" mode? I do not wish to use Infiniband.
