[Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+]

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.

indeed, as the 918+ does not have a pcie slot they dont budle drivers for optional cards, but a added tehuti und aquantia drivers (both 10G nic's)  to the extra/extra2

i could only test tehuti, the aquantia driver might not work, some drivers load when the hardware is not present but crash when the hardware for the driver is present

i will defiantly redo the drivers for aquantia in the next iteration but that will be in december

 

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!
