Mellanox ConnectX-3 support


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry, I don't see how that can be an Unraid problem, driver is not detecting a link, and it won't work until it does, and find it very strange that TrueNAS Scale would detected a link with exactly the same hardware, it uses the same driver.

Thanks, but help me understand: If I reboot the server, without touching the server or hardware, and only change the boot device, TrueNas Scale boots and detects the Mellanox NIC with DAC cables and receives a reserved IP. Unraid does not. Same HW, one OS brings up NIC ok, but another OS does not. Sounds to me like software.

I been able to show the Mellanox 10gb Card trought the below procedures:

 

# lspci | grep Mellanox 01:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT26428 [ConnectX IB QDR, PCIe 2.0 5GT/s] (rev b0)

#echo ib > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/mlx4_port1

#echo eth > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/mlx4_port2

 

Configured the Eth1 to work with windows Pc , only 3 uge problem:

1 - After reboot Eth2 disappear , configuration need to be done again.

2 - if i resume from sleep or i dont use server for a while  port eth1 is going down.

3 - Transfer from Unraid to Windows is very slow only 120 Mb/s , from windows to unraid the speed is about 1,5Gb/s

Hi everyone , anybody can help me on point # 2 , i been able to resume the ETH port trough a script but how can i do it in automatically after resume from sleep and not manually every time , any suggestion?

Also i still experience very slow transfer speed
