Now restart your ESXi host and run the upgrade again.<\/p>\n
Some facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n
1. ESXi 6.7 has Mellanox driver as inbox.
\n2. nmlx4-* modules are of native driver for ConnectX-3 NIC family
\n3. net-mlx4-* modules are of vmkinux driver (old API) for ConnectX-3 NIC family
\n4. In general, it’s always advised to install latest native driver from (when available) : http:\/\/www.mellanox.com\/page\/products_dyn?product_family=29<\/a>
\n5. About performance there is too little information about configuration and actual bandwidth, kindly elaborate.<\/p>\n
Check the NIC driver currently in use:<\/p>\n
