Mellanox - Connectx-3 - can modify config

[xavierd]

I'm playing around with a ConnectX-3 (FW 2.42.5000) and seems I'm not able to obtain the config of the card, reset it to default values or either modify any of the properties.

Any idea how to solve this problem? Tried to reburn the fw with the ini file that I had however no success.

Usually configuration is "temporary" and done with config files/registry entries for the drivers. Not sure what you mean with config.

The ini file is used in combination with a mlx file to generate the firmware (*.bin) file which you can use for flashing.

If you want to use the current ini file check this post from @whitey : https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-to-mellanox-firmware-help.12452/#post-118715

I'm trying via mlxconfig to set SRIOV however it fails since it seems my config file is empty

is anyway to obtain the last mlx to create a new bin? or from my actual bin to obtain the mlx?

In windows sriov is a driver setting:

Make sure you enable SRIOV in the virtual switch too
