I have ConnectX-5 on my server and ESXI 6.7 . Installed latest drivers and configured VFs. When i use both ports in Ethernet, everything is good, but i want one port in Eth, other in Ib mode.
I did not see such limitations. So after rebbot esxi normally configures VFs on Eth port, but neer other one “Enabled. Need rebbot”. And several reboots does not help. How can i configure my esxi or firmware config, to make such thing.
Device Type: ConnectX5
Part Number: MCX556A-ECA_Ax
FW 16.24
Hello Ivan,
Thank you for posting your inquiry on the Mellanox Community.
Based on the information provided, unfortunately there is no support for Native Infiniband for ESXi 6.5 and later.
Currently in the latest ESXi versions (6.5 and 6.7), we only support Infiniband SR-IOV, which means you can have an InfiniBand SR-IOV or PF attached to a virtual machines, which has Infiniband capabilities. See the latest UM, " Configuring InfiniBand-SR-IOV" → https://docs.mellanox.com/display/VMwarev4171516/Virtualization#Virtualization-ConfiguringInfiniBand-SR-IOV
Thank you,
