Hello,
I have created a 3 node Triton cloud for testing purposes and it works
really great so far (with the onboard NICs).
Now I added a bunch of X520-DA2 network cards with some compatibility
SFP+ transceiver that I am successfully using on Linux since years.
At first I thought its just going to work out of the box, because the
ixgbe physical interfaces were listed as UP after boot.
But then I added a network and some VMs and noticed the network traffic
is not able to leave the interface (at least no packages are logged on
the switch).
Checked the logs and found what I already expected:
"WARNING: ixgbe0: Unsupported SFP+ module detected. Please replace it
with a supported SFP+ module per Intel documentation, or bypass this check"
Long story short... I guess the following setting is required:
/kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf
allow_unsupported_sfp = 1;
My question:
How to set this option on the Headnode and all compute nodes?
Only found one very old blog post from 2014 about this topic:
http://blog.shalman.org/overriding-driver-config-files-on-smartos/
I am pretty sure things changed quite a bit during the last 4 years. :)
Many thanks!
Benni
