Hello.
I believe I may have done a flash incorrectly and it appears all VPD info on my ConnectX3 is gone. I do have a spare one to grab the info but I have no idea how I would target the VPD info Read Only sections. Here is example output detailing the situation:
Bad:
I have read posts that say this is not important but I am getting errors in Linux that appear as follows:
The driver (mlx4_core), will not start. If anyone knows how to burn the VPD info back onto the card, I would appreciate some help. I have access to Linux/Windows and a CH341A programmer. I need this to work. I can always buy another one, but that's a last resort. Thanks.
