Mellanox firmware for our IB cards resides in /dist/hpc/mellanox. We have a few different flavors of IB HCAs on the cluster. Most HCAs are of the "Lion Cub" variety. We have two different kinds of these, corresponding to two different board revisions. If the card is a "Topspin card" (purchased with PhaseIIa), use firmware file fw-25208-4_8_200-MHEL-CF128-T.bin. If the card is a "Mellanox card" (purchased with PhaseIIb), use firmware file fw-25208-4_8_200-MHEA28-1TC_A1-A3.bin. You can tell if a node has a "Topspin card" via tvflash: <blockquote> <pre> [root@r1a-s42 ~]# tvflash -i HCA #0: MT25208 Tavor Compat, Lion Cub, revision A0 Primary image is v4.7.600 build 3.2.0.110, with label 'HCA.LionCub.A0' Secondary image is v4.7.600 build 3.2.0.82, with label 'HCA.LionCub.A0' Vital Product Data Product Name: Lion cub P/N: 99-00026-01 E/C: Rev: B04 S/N: TS0533X00231 Freq/Power: PW=10W;PCIe 8X Date Code: 0533 Checksum: Ok </pre> </blockquote> Note that the P/N and S/N are Cisco/Topspin part and serial numbers. Here is tvflash output for a "Mellanox card": <blockquote> <pre> [root@submit ~]# tvflash -i HCA #0: MT25208 Tavor Compat, Lion Cub, revision A0 Primary image is v4.7.600 build 3.2.0.110, with label 'HCA.LionCub.RevC.A0' Secondary image is valid, unknown source Vital Product Data Product Name: Lion cub P/N: MHEA28-1TC E/C: A1 S/N: MT0614X00681 Freq/Power: PCIe x8 Checksum: Ok Date Code: N/A </pre> </blockquote> OFED's ibv_devinfo command can also be used to see firmware-related information. Here is typical output of ibv_devinfo: <blockquote> <pre> [root@r3a-s20 ~]# ibv_devinfo hca_id: mthca0 fw_ver: 4.8.200 node_guid: 0005:ad00:0004:d1f8 sys_image_guid: 0002:c900:0100:d050 vendor_id: 0x02c9 vendor_part_id: 25208 hw_ver: 0xA0 board_id: MT_00A0000001 phys_port_cnt: 2 port: 1 state: PORT_ACTIVE (4) max_mtu: 2048 (4) active_mtu: 2048 (4) sm_lid: 2 port_lid: 79 port_lmc: 0x00 port: 2 state: PORT_DOWN (1) max_mtu: 2048 (4) active_mtu: 512 (2) sm_lid: 0 port_lid: 0 port_lmc: 0x00 </pre> </blockquote>
