  4. Ok i been able to properly install the driver using winof on windows and change the card protocol to eth .

    Now the problem is that still when i use mst status i am sill not able to find any devise, so i believe once i move the card to unraid it will still be on infiniband

    are you sure sure you installed the correct drivers?   connectx-3 and below have diff drivers than connecx-4 and up

    The driver for windows are automatically installed , the inly thing i can install is winmft, and i installed the one linked above .

    i also removed all drivers with clean unistaller , reboot and install again , but my card is not recognised, actually my boot cards are not reconised.

    So it seems like it could be 2 things:

    - Drivers are messed up somewhere and you might need to reinstall them
    - Firmware issue on the card (happened to mine, which were also brand new at the time)

    On your windows machine, if you have the cards set to Infiniband, can you run mst status and post a screenshot? I want to try and map out your issue.

    If you cant, You might need to use WinMFT and re-flash the firmware.

     

    Here's a link for the firmware:
    http://www.mellanox.com/downloads/firmware/fw-ConnectX3-rel-2_42_5000-MCX354A-FCB_A2-A5-FlexBoot-3.4.752.bin.zip

     

    Link to WinMFT:
    https://www.mellanox.com/downloads/MFT/WinMFT_x64_4_26_1_3.exe

     

     

    Steps on how to burn the firmware:
    https://network.nvidia.com/support/firmware/nic/

    Your ID's should be the same as mine since I have the same card, but with 1 physical port instead of 2.

    Since then, I've got the card to work on UnRAID on my Dell server, but I'm planning on redoing my main server in the future and had to pull the card out to fit multiple GPU's.

    I cannot install new firmware with windows because when i type smt status , i got " no mst device "

     

    However i did upgrade to latest firmware troug mellanox plug in on unraid instead of use the link othe plug in i use the link of the firmware belong to my card.

    Even after upgrade on unraid and move the card to windwos still i got " no mst device'

    I also tried with ubuntu on 2 different machine and still i got no mst device found , i also use mlxconfig and i got unable to open the device

     

     

    i also just i case disable secure boot and enable SR-iov as reported on same post around

  7. No, i already tryed all, i tried with both card, i installed both card on two different machine , using linux and windows and in all case when i try mst status , i got device not found .

    The card are perfectly working in infiniband , but i cannot converth to eterneth

    Its a shame the card are new, i have to buy another 2 card but this time i will purchase the ethernet one 

    Is this card will be good ? 

    Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN 10G Ethernet 10GbE SFP Network Card.

     

    What if i buy only one card and connect the infiniband on windows and this MCX311A on unraid  with a cable QSFP to SFP+  will work ?

  8. Guys please i just purchased 2  Mcx354A -FCBT card but i am not able to get working on unraid , in network configuration is not showing , is present in system device.
