I have just installed proxomox on a system and I use mellanox connectx-3 10 fiber channel adapters. I have it plugged in and seems like it is detected by proxmox but if I do an ifconfig the interfaces show down. If i do an ifup it says no interface. This is a dual port adapter and fiber is plugged into one and I have link lights. Anyone have any idea if this is working correctly? seems like it should show up on 1.

I assume the ens259 is the mellanox driver.
Code:
3: enp1s0f1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1e:67:ca:36:07 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: ens259: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:02:c9:32:48:b0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: ens259d1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:02:c9:32:48:b1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

lspci shows a kernal looks to have loaded it and it shows in the gui.
Code:
81:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
        Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
        Kernel driver in use: mlx4_core
        Kernel modules: mlx4_core

Here is the networking section on the server

I ask because I created a vm on this host and configured the ovs port on vlan 5 and the adpater is installed in a trunk port, but I can not ping the host on that adapter.

thanks.
