Tried the ixgbe driver with a dual x540 intel 10gb card using pass through w/ esxi and I got the crash. Using the card with vmxnet3 instead gave 3+gb throughput and it's more reliable than aquantic 10gb card.

Just FYI - I tried two different aquantia cards and the driver crash and burn and halt the boot/system. Note this was done using esxi 6.7 and both cards in pass through. I'm about to try with a 10gb x540 intel card but I didn't check it was supported or not.

I've tried the last set of extra/2.lzma and it works well for my DS918+ (6.2.2) on top of esxi 6.7. While it's running fine - I'm having issue with mptsas crashing on load when I enabled LSI SAS - is t his expected and similar to what is happening for the ds3615x ? Also I didn't find the mpt2sas in any of the extras bundle - I assume if the former is not working that won't help. On a side note the atlantic driver also crashed when I tried passthrough of the xc card- not sure if it would work with SRIOV but it's not an option w/ esxi in my case anyway. The card works well with vmnet3 at 10gb under esxi so no biggy there Thanks! -M
