X520 and SFP+_ TrueNAS reaction

[Axl_fzetafs]

Hi, I installed 3x x520 (not sure wheater DA2 or SR2), they got reconized by TrueNAS

Code:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)
01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)
03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01)

but in the GUI I see only one. I checked the SFP+s and I realized that two cards got Finisar FTLX8574D3BCL, whereas the third one got Intel FTLX8571D3BCVIT1.

I will move the Intel SFP+s among the cards to see if I get some interesting result.
Question: how to precisely track down/associate the card seen int the guy with one of the three cards shown by lspci?

Cheers,

Alex

While waiting for the answer on how to link a specific card in the GUI with the output of lspci, here an interesting finding.

Out of three X520, 2 with Finisar SFP+ and one with Intel ones, this is what I found:
Leaving aside the X520 with the Finisar (hence no Intel SFP+), I put the Intel ones on different X20 cars and both were recognised, then I inserted the Finisar SFP+ and connected them back-to-back.

Well both interface came up, hurra!

That means, imo, that we could use this trick if in lack of genuine Intel SFP+s.

Cheers,

Alex
