Mellanox Config Tools Container

Run container with high priviliges to get hardware access.

Bash: docker run --privileged xeroxxx/mlxcontainer

Persistent container: docker run -d --privileged xeroxxx/mlxcontainer docker exec -it /bin/bash

Set MLX Card to Ethernet:

lspci mlxconfig.exe -d <pcie_id> set set LINK_TYPE_P1=2 LINK_TYPE_P2=2

Allows you to configure Mellanox Connect-X Cards within a container, for example on a synology NAS where you're not able to install mlxconfig.
