in generating HCA firmware, but I do know Cisco takes the Mellanox firmware
image plus a board configuration file and generates an HCA firmware file from
using tools from Mellanox. There are a few config settings specific to
this HCA because it is in a fixed backplane config. How important these
settings are is not clear to me.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I think I may have this resolved through the vendor at this point,
but I am still curious about how to select a firmware from the Mellanox
website and matching that up against Vendor X's
HCAs.<BR>thx-<BR><BR> Jeremy<BR><BR>Jeremy Enos wrote:

going to be deploying Windows2008 on a cluster of Dell 1955 blades, each
with daughter card form factor IB adapters. I'm told I need to have an
updated firmware for this to work, but I'm having a great deal of trouble
gaining confidence into what firmware to download from the Mellanox site,
and I'm getting somewhat desperate. From the Linux side, this is all
the information I can query about the HCA:<BR><BR><I>[root@abe0897 ~]#

firmware, but I don't know which... (or what changes it might have within
it). Cisco's website offers me absolutely zero insight
here.<BR>thx-<BR><BR> Jeremy<BR><BR><PRE wrap=""><HR width="90%" SIZE=4>
