[Pkg-ofed-devel] discovery of InfiniBand ports sometimes fails after firmware update

[Nitin Yadav]

Description of problem:
After installing the latest firmware release for the Mellanox ConnectX-2
HCA (Mellanox Technologies MT26428 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 5GT/s - IB QDR
/ 10GigE] (rev b0)),
I've noticed that the second port (ib1) is sometimes not discovered at
system
boot.
 
According to the installation instructions, this firmware has a
prerequisite
of OFED 1.5.3 or later , this firmware should be correct.
 
The firmware file is: fw-ConnectX2-2_9_1200-592520-B21.bin.
 
The issue seems most likely to occur after a "reboot -f".
 
 
Version or Release number of selected component (if n/a, use `uname
-a`):
Linux dl380g7-2 3.2 kernel  #1 SMP Tue Jul 31 18:13:05 UTC 2012 x86_64
GNU/Linux
fw-ConnectX2-2_9_1200-592520-B21.bin

 

Could anyone suggest some pointer ?

 

Thanks,

Nitin
