@ich777, bad news: Since this device is a ConnectX2, it might be too old for this version. Do you happen to know what plugin might be required for the older cards?

Hey Ich! Dig your stuff! I have 6.8.3 on both boxes. I'll search the CA apps for Mellanox.

I have the Mellanox ConnectX-2 VPI QSFP+ MHRH2A (dual port) NIC that is detected in lspci: I would like to use the card in UnRaid as a backbone between multiple UnRaid servers, but after reading the forums and speaking with Jon in Support, there is no Infiniband support for UnRaid. However, I only use ETH networks, so IB is not required. Flashing the firmware to ETH-Only has been unsuccessful. Since this inexpensive card has the ability to switch the port type from Auto, IB, or ETH I should be able to select the port type to force ETH-only using the command below: The driver for this, however, is not currently enabled. I would like VPI cards like mine to have the drivers enabled (ie, mlx4 mlx5 etc), even if it only allows for ETH networking to be used. The driver could load, detect the card, and then set the port type automagically to the supported port type. This would allow 20gb+ networking, as well as let the VPI card be seen on the Settings -> Network Settings screen in UnRaid to allow for DHCP, static, RoCE, RDMA, bonding, bridging, just like currently supported 1/10gb cards. I do understand that throughput might be limited to 10gb, but I believe this is a step in the right direction for VPI card support in the UnRaid Community. I have several of these cards that I can ship anywhere for testing.

Hello! Reading the release notes, still no infiniband support. Do ya'll have IB on the roadmap for 6.9.0?
