Mellanox Technologies :: Identifying Adapter Cards

Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards

Here are some ideas for identifying your Adapter Card:

Method 1: Find the PSID of the Product Using 'Flint'

After installing the MFT package, perform the following steps:

Enter: mst start
Get the Mellanox mst device name using the command "mst status" -- the device name will be of the form: /dev/mst/mt<dev_id>_pci{_cr0|conf0}

Get the PSID (firmware identification) using the command

> flint -d /dev/mst/mt23108_pci_cr0 query

Image type: FailSafe
Chip rev.: A1
...
Board ID: (MT_0000000001) <--- This is the PSID

Method 2: IF OFED is Installed on Your Machine - Use 'ibv_devinfo'

This method assumes you have installed OFED (see www.openfabrics.org) on your machine and its driver is up. To get the PSID of your product, enter:

> ibv_devinfo
        hca_id:                     mlx4_0
        fw_ver:                    2.5.000
    ...
        board_id:               MT_04A0110002 <--- This is the PSID

Method 3: IF the MTNIC Driver is Installed on Your Machine - Use 'ethtool' or 'mstflint'

ethtool: This method assumes you have installed the MTNIC Driver (see www.mellanox.com/products/software.php) on your machine and its driver is up. To get the PSID of your product, enter:

        > ethtool -i eth3
                driver:    mtnic (MT_0B50110004)    <--- This is the PSID
                version:    1.4.16 (Sun Dec 2 12:33:27 2007)2.5.000
                firmware-version: 2.5.000
                ...

mstflint: To get the PSID of your product using mstflint:
- Get the device location on the PCI bus by entering:

> lspci -d 15b3:6368
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies Unknown device 6368 (rev a0)

Now enter:

                > mstflint -d 04:00.0 q
                Image type:      ConnectX
                FW Version:      2.5.000
                 Device ID:       25448
                Chip Revision:   A0
                Description:     Port1            Port2
                MACs:            0002c900308c     0002c900308d
                Board ID:         (MT_0B50110004)    <--- This is the PSID
                VSD:
                PSID:            MT_0B50110004

Method 4: IF IB Gold (IBGD) is Installed on Your Machine - Use 'vstat'

This method assumes you have installed Mellanox's IB Gold Distribution software on your machine and its driver is up. To get the PSID of your product, enter:

        > vstat
        1 HCA found:
       ...
        fw_ver=3.3.3
          PSID=MT_0000000001
