Hi,
Our HP DL380p Gen8 device has a Mellanox ConnectX-4 100G and an Emulex 10G card installed. It does not detect the 10G cards when both are installed. How can we solve this problem?

Did you boot into a live Debian as mentioned in the other thread you started?
And not detecting means it is not shown with lspci
? But only if the ConnectX-4 is installed. Are both add-on cards and if yes in which slots on the DL380p Gen8 are they installed? And what is the is exact model of the Emulex card?
Hi,
I did not install it as live debian, I installed vyos iso directly. When I do lspci, Emulex sees it as dualport 10G and also sees the mellanoxes but it does not get a link, although the modules are compatible and have no problems. They are plugged into the PCI slots of the server.
The booting (from USB stick) into live Debian is to check if there is an issue with Debian (which VyOS is based on) or if there is a bug in VyOs.
Why not just post the lspci
output (as asked) so at least it is clear what model of Emulex there are. Then at least it can be checked if they are compatible or search in the internet if that model got issues with Linux.

What do you mean by ‘not detected’? They do not show up in the lspci
output? They don’t get an interface assigned? They get an interface assigned but not link up after connecting a cable?
What is the output of sudo dmesg | fgrep Emulex
and sudo dmesg | fgrep be2net
(fiber mode driver sudo dmesg | fgrep lpfc
)?
If an interface is assigned, what is the output of sudo ethtool -i <emulex interface>
.
Addition: seems the Emulex can be in different modes, HBA, Fiber or Network NIC. The network driver used would be be2net
it seems. And you may have to upgrade the firmware. Check My 10 gigabit fiber ethernet home setup on a budget - Jurriaan's Blog for a guys journey to get it work.
No idea how you get into the NIC mode if it is not already in, your search on the internet is as good as mine.
