hey all. I'm very new to Mellanox and IB
I picked up a few MCX354A-QCBT and a Voltaire 4036 with cables. I updated the voltaire and some of the MCX354A-QCBT to the MCX354A-FCBT firmware (for 40GBE).
On Windows server 2016 I show the link as up and connected but not pulling DHCP (have 1GB ethernet connected to Voltaire)
Voltaire able to ping and pulling IP
On ESXI I show the ConnectX-3 cards but link down, I tried using latest drivers from VMware's site.
Shouldn't it just connect and work or am I missing something. Anyone know why the link shows up in Windows but not ESXI? Also why can't I get any ethernet traffic through? Is there something I need to do to switch from fabric to ethernet?
