Hi guys, I have bought some mellanox gear pretty cheap off Ebay. I need to set some time aside to properly read through everything and learn what i am doing. But i am just trying to get it online to do some basic testing and even that seems to be a bit of a pita.
My setup is blade M1000e with 2x M4001T switches both showing as online. I then have 40Gb NICs in two R730 servers. Both these connections are showing as disconnected. (if they connect direct without the switch they work perfectly)
I purchased a 56Gb/s card for a blade server and installed that. I then installed OpenSM / mellanox software and i created the mellanox service. I then started the service and the first port came online. I assigned it a static Ip address but none of the other ports came online.
The documentation for this specific switch is eluding me. If anyone has some information on what i need to do for the config it would be appreciated!
I have ordered a serial cable to plug in to the device but from what i read, i was led to believe i wouldnt need one as i can use opensm to configure the switches and bring them online.
