Hi!
MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.9.10.0-10EM-550.0.0.1331820 is Mellanox Ethernet driver.
This driver works well my VPI adapter, but give up a VPI functions like
SRP, IPoIB, etc.
This test for multi-function check for my VPI adapter and 10Gb DCB switch
on latest vSphere ESXi environment.
It's a test.
Not for production one.
If Mellanox release VPI port multi-function again in future vSphere OFED
one again (like WinOFED or Linux OFED)
I'll use VPI and Ethernet protocol in my personal labs with VPI+ETH mode
combination...:)
For example
VPI - SRP, IPoIB for storage and vkernel
Ethernet port - SRIOV, iSER, Private Internal Network
I'm prefer iSER than SRP.
SRP was very fast storage protocol, but have some issue on my ZFS Comstar
target...:(
