The version numbering is the same; the only difference is that Cisco FW will have things like the NodeDescription customized. You can use Mellanox FW on an HCA from Cisco, and vice versa. - R. ___ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
RE: [openib-general] FW upgrade for TopSpin cards
Roland, sorry to bug you on that but... I have a Cisco HCA (PCI-X) hca_typeMTS23108 hw_rev a1 fw_ver 1.18.0 hca_type and hw_rev are clearly Mellanox nomenclature. I suspect that this is Cisco FW version #. But all OpenIB documentation is with respect to Mellanox nomenclature. For example from http://www.openib.org/docs/ipoib_faq.txt 1. Verify the firmware version via cat /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/fw_ver For PCI-X HCAs, version 3.2.0 is recommended. For PCIe HCAs, version 4.5.3 is recommended. * Is there analogous documentation for Cisco FW? Where is that FW (this is Cougar card)? Are Cisco FWs and Mellanox FW the same? If yes what is the correspondance between the 2 numbering schemas. While this specific question is for Cougar card, the answer should be generic and cover all HCAs. Can the documentation be updated to cover all supported HW regardless of the vendor? Thanks, Arkady Kanevsky email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Appliance phone: 781-768-5395 375 Totten Pond Rd.

However, mstflint seems to better supported and I would reccomend that. grant ___ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
RE: [openib-general] FW upgrade for TopSpin cards
Thanks Roland. I was worried about pointer sign warnings. Clock is not an issue. Do you plan to fix the srcs so gcc 4.0 warning will not be generated?

Arkady> I get a bunch of warnings (see below). All of the warnings look benign (although you might want to synchronize the clock between your build system and your file server). Arkady> Can I use OpenIB tvflash to upgrade FW on a TopSpin card? Yes. Arkady> Can I use OpenIB mstflint for it? Yes. Arkady> Which version of the utilities should I use? I would use the latest subversion revision. Arkady> Why warning when I build it? Because gcc 4.0 added a bunch of semi-bogus pointer sign warnings, and you clocks are out of synch. - R. ___ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
