I am trying to install the Mellanox drivers on a ESXi 5.5 system and they are failing to install. I have a 483513-B21 card. The drivers I found are:
MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.9.10.0-10EM-510.0.0.799733.zip
When I run the following command to install them, I get the following:
So it looks like they installed OK. I reboot the server, but the card is not showing up in the server/config/network adapter section. Is there any thing that needs to be done? Has anyone else got one of these cards to work with ESXi 5.5?
Running the following shows it is installed:
MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.9.10.0-10EM-510.0.0.799733.zip
When I run the following command to install them, I get the following:
Code:
esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.9.10.0-10EM-510.0.0.799733.zip
