Hi All,
I recently finish my build (full specs there) and I have an issue with the 10gb connection and at this point it might be the QLE8152 on the ESXi 6.5 or the DAC cables.
When installing the Chelsio NetApp Dual Port SFP+ 10GbE PCIe 111-00603+A0 CC2-S320E-SR 100-1082-00 in FreeNAS it recognized it right away.
When installing the QLE8152 in ESXi 6.5, at first did not recognized it, but then installing the propers VIBs worked, now the host see both the FC and Ethernet adapter.
But when connecting the cables the links are down in both ends. Not using a switch, direct connection.
Why I say it might be the ESXi? because of this post and I will quote user tby: "Well, turned out I needed to add another VIB for the qlge driver to get IP connectivity" which might be the same issue I'm facing. But wasn't being able to find this "missing" VIB.
As my old boss used to say, 80% of the time are the cables. So I want to rule out the cable before looking into new cards, currently using 10Gtek for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M,10GBASE-CU Direct Attach Copper Cable, Twinax Cable, Passive, 1-Meter (this cable is compatible wit the QLE8152)
Can any one recommend a SFP+ DAC compatible cable for the Chelsio adapter.
Thanks,
