I can't tell if my cards are busted in some way or if they are just WAI and endemically just suck.
The cards are detected and, w/some Mellanox 10G modules, link up and txfer packets. If I use 100G Arista modules, I get dmesg driver issues about unsupported modules.
(Even though the link is up, it wasn't able get an ip via the dhcp server.)
Wrt the unsupported module, there's an intel community response indicating the e810's are "open optic" which should mean they aren't vendor locking the optics. Given that the Mellanox tranceivers work would seem to support this but then why are the Arista ones not. I know the optics work fine as I get linkage using MikroTik and Arista switch gear. Back to the cards maybe being 'dorked'. When I use the epct tool I get "corrupted port configuration."
I thought perhaps that it might be due to not liking the tranceiver so I removed it and reran the tool w/0 tranceivers installed and again w/only the Mellanox one. No delta. Always the "Invalid port option" and "Corrupted port configuration" messages.
I saw some post about how a fw update fixed someone's 25G module recognition.
My cards are running fw 3.0.
And yet when I grab the 4.40 e810 nvme update package from intel and run it, it tells me there are no updates for my card.
So is the invalid option/corrupted config the reason it's unable to update or is there some other reason/issue? How did/do you update the firmware to 4.40 for the e810-CQDA2?
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've googled and searched various forums for this issue and can't even find anyone reporting a similar issue.
