Hello,
I am trying to use a QSFP breakout cable (4x 10Gb SFP+) on an MT27500 ConnectX-3 that is on a SuperMicro Motherboard. Specifically an X9DRT-HIBQF. I have updated the firmware that I retrieved from SM's ftp site to 2.30.3000 and have installed all the latest OFED drivers 1.8.2 for ESXi 5.5. I have noticed in previous and current documentation that under the "Networking" section it states that the "ib_ipoib" module can be used to expose multiple vmnics. My question is that I am not seeing this functionality or any option to specify the number of interfaces in the cli. I did notice the syntax for ESX/ESXi 3.5 and 4 as referenced "esxcfg-module ib_ipoib -s 'UplinkNum=n1,n2,..'" or "esxcfg-module ib_ipoib -s 'ipoib_uplink_num=1'", but those parameters are not available.
The references above were taken from: http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/IB_OFED_for_VI_3_5_release_notes_1_2_0.txt
Am I missing something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Matt
