I'm using a pair of dual port Connectx-3 cards (Part# MCX354A-FCBT on FW 2.42.5000 ) and I seem to be stuck at 10Gb.
My ultimate goal is to get to pure Infiniband connectivity between the servers and the storage.
I have Dell PowerConnect 8132(N4032) switches AND a pair of Mellanox IS5022 switches.
Cards are running on Dell PowerEdge 710 & 715 servers, each one connected through the switches.
I have tried both and I'm getting 10Gb on each, but nothing more.
(Even though the link speed says 40)
I know that there has been quite a bit of discussion here on these cards and regarding being stuck at 10Gbe.
I would love some assistance on this and hope that someone here can assist me.
