Hello everyone,
this question never received an answer and I wasn't able to find a
solution otherwise.
In the end I took the easy path and simply bought a bunch of new SFP+
transceivers to make the network cards happy.
Though I still wonder how kernel driver options should be handled on
Trition generally in case they are required for some reason.
Best Regards,
Benjamin

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
