Hello,
I was hoping to get some assistance getting Mellanox drivers working correctly in proxmox. I am evaluating proxmox 7.4.3 (kernel PVE 5.15.107-1) for use in our environment but in order to be able to successfully use it I need to ensure priority flow control (pfc) is enabled in our network cards (connectX5 and connectX6 cards). This is needed for RoCE to perform in a lossless setup.
By default pfc is disabled and needs to be enabled using the mlnx_qos tool. You cannot configure pfc using the Nvidia Firmware Tools (MFT), as far as I'm aware mlnx_qos is not available there.
When trying to install the MLNX_OFED drivers to provide access to mlnx_qos (required to configure pfc) the install script prompts to remove a list of pve packages which would break pve.
What is the recommend/supported method of getting a PVE host running with functioning MLNX OFED?
Thanks for the help!
