You should have wrote that in your review.Yea I am not a huge fan of these with ESXi. I have been working with the driver team at Supermicro though.
Moot point now I suppose w/ the official VMware vib for this out right? Dave, was that you beasting out over in that other thread w/ ESXi 6.0 native vib nic support as well as sr-iov goodness? Very cool stuff good sir!You should have wrote that in your review.
What ixgbe driver version did you start with when running Proxmox and X557 NICs?That's odd. Even my Proxmox host that had the driver loaded by default hasn't had that kind of problem.
Why is that? Networking? Drivers? Performance? Just trying to figure which aspect is not well covered with these.Yea I am not a huge fan of these with ESXi. I have been working with the driver team at Supermicro though.
Speaking for Patrick here but fairly certain that it was related to the fact that the initial revision 1.0 of the board using the 1540 chip did not support SR-IOV. The new version 2.0 which utilizes the 1541 chip does support SR-IOV so I don't think he would say the same thing.Why is that? Networking? Drivers? Performance?
