Hello,
I have look on different topics on how to install mellanox connect x2 on ESXi 6.0
Instruction was:
#Remove driver
esxcli software vib remove -n=net-mlx4-en -n=net-mlx4-core
reboot
#Install latest 1.8.2.4 driver for SRP or IPoIB
esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.8.2.4-10EM-500.0.0.472560.zip --no-sig-check
#Optional - Install MFT Tools - allows you to query the card as well as apply firmware updates through ESX
esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/MLNX-MFT-ESX-3.7.1.3-10EM-550.0.0.1331820.zip --no-sig-check
esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/ib-opensm-3.3.15.x86_64.vib –no-sig-check
Reboot

I have no issue or error during the process but when I check on my network interface I do not see anymore my mellanox card while before I was able to see it
Now I see my board in storage adaptor
What is wrong with my setting. Last point I have put partition.conf in /scratch/opensm/0x0002c90300522550 and my partition.conf have the following value:
Default=0x7fff,ipoib,mtu=5:ALL=full;
Thanks in advance for your support
