Mellanox ConnectX-5 100G NICs
I see the Mellanox NICs when running lspci and lshw but i don't see them listed when looking at ip link show
When looking at lshw for other NICs on the system i see a logical interface like eno1 but for the Mellanox devices i don't see that. I only have IPMI access so can't easily download anything as the mgmt port is not connected.
Could this just be a driver issue or something else?
Here is a sceenshot of the lshw section for the Mellanox NICs https://i.stack.imgur.com/fUmL1.jpg
It's a driver issue, they are not included, you need to download them from nvidia site.
I had the same issue (with CentOS) with Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx.
I was installing CentOS, so I followed this approach: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/performing_an_advanced_rhel_installation/updating-drivers-during-installation_installing-rhel-as-an-experienced-user
