[Linux_hpc_swstack] Feature Request: Mellanox Firmware Tools
Hello,
I would like to request that latest release of the Mellanox Firmware
Tools be included in a future release of Sun(TM) HPC Software, Linux
Edition:
http://www.mellanox.com/products/management_tools.php
I need this software to be able to update Infiniband HCA firmware. An
example of the process and why it''s required in my situation is
contained in a series of posts I made here:

Dear Matthew, Thanks a lot for your suggestion! Bug 17085 Feature Request: Mellanox Firmware Tools P.S. I understand that Mellanox Firmware Tools set is NOT open source software. We are engaging what would be the best approach to integrate the community requests at the same time still shipping legitimate product.

Zhiqi, what tools do you think are not open source? As far as I''m aware any tools associated with firmware management for HCA''s are all open source. Looking at that page, all of those tools (or equivalents) are included in standard OFED releases. For example, mstflint is already made available via our REPO (yum install mstflint). I''m not sure what other tools you believe are missing and are needed to perform the firmware burning you need.

Matthew, I know that you needed tricky techniques to upgrade the firmware for Sun''s PEM HCAs. But, now you can download the latest firmware (2.5.0) for Sun''s OEM HCAs (ConnectX) from the Sun''s download center. See below. https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=Sol-Infiniband-U2-G-F at CDS-CDS_SMI Basically, this tarball contains the Infiniband drivers and tools for Solaris10, but the latest firmware is also included. You can upgrade to the latest version with just this firmware and "flint burn" on the Linux.

Makia,
If Mellanox Firmware Tools that work with the OFED and kernel that Sun
is building were installed by default or installable via yum, that would
be great. You seem to indicate that they are, but I found that:
A. They weren''t installed with the latest ISO installer.
B. After installation, there are no Sun-specifc yum repos setup for
me to install Sun-specific bits from:
# ls -1 /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-Media.repo
How do I install the Sun-generated packages on my machine after
installation of Sun HPC Software, Linux Edition? Is it that the
installer just failed to put the Sun yum repos in place, and I need to
manually add them? If so, what should they be? The same repos used to
create the installation ISO?
Thanks,
-Matthew

As we''re progressing towards a new release, we''re starting to fix a few of these missing artifacts. Please download and install the following RPM: http://dlc.sun.com/linux_hpc/yum/sunhpc/1.0/c5/x86_64/SunHPC/sunhpc-release-1-0.noarch.rpm After doing this, you should be able to do a "yum install mstflint".

[Linux_hpc_swstack] Feature Request: Mellanox Firmware Tools
Thank you Makia. After installing the referenced RPM, I have the needed
yum repo, can yum install an mstflint that works, and have tested that
it works.
E.g.,
# rpm -qa | grep mstflint
mstflint-1.2-sunhpc1
# /sbin/lspci -d 15b3:
08:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX IB
DDR, PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s] (rev a0)
# mstflint -d 08:00.0 q
Image type: ConnectX
FW Version: 2.5.0
Rom Version: 100001
Device ID: 25418
Chip Revision: A0
Description: Node Port1 Port2
Sys image
GUIDs: 0003ba0001005df0 0003ba0001005df1
0003ba0001005df2 0003ba0001005df3
Board ID: (SUN0060000001)
VSD:
PSID: SUN0060000001
Notes:
* This mstflint is different than the stuff in MFT 2.5.0 / OFED
1.3.1. E.g., MFT 2.5.0 has flint instead of mstflint and
requires MST with the mst service etc.
* There''s no man page for mstflint included in the Sun RPM
package. There is one for flint in MFT 2.5.0 and it would be
nice to include it with any future updated RPMs (perhaps this
will be automatic).

[Linux_hpc_swstack] Feature Request: Mellanox Firmware Tools
A colleague pointed an oversight on my part. Although mstflint/flint can burn a firmware image, only mlxburn is capable of burning a firmware image *and* an option ROM. As we we need to burn both of these images to the HCA, the mstflint/flint package is not enough to get it done. Do you have an RPM containing mlxburn available? I think the best thing to do is to provide all of MFT with the next release. I.e., "rpmbuild -tb mft-2.5.0.tgz".
