Hi-
I'm 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:
/[root at abe0897 ~]# ibv_devinfo
hca_id: mthca0
fw_ver: 4.7.600
node_guid: 0005:ad00:000b:3f12
sys_image_guid: 0005:ad00:0100:d050
vendor_id: 0x05ad
vendor_part_id: 25208
hw_ver: 0xA0
board_id: HCA.DLGL.A0
phys_port_cnt: 2
port: 1
state: PORT_ACTIVE (4)
max_mtu: 2048 (4)
active_mtu: 2048 (4)
sm_lid: 4
port_lid: 612
port_lmc: 0x00
port: 2
state: PORT_DOWN (1)
max_mtu: 2048 (4)
active_mtu: 512 (2)
sm_lid: 0
port_lid: 0
port_lmc: 0x00
root at abe0897 ~]# tvflash -i
HCA #0: MT25208 Tavor Compat, DLGL, revision A0
Primary image is v4.7.600 build 3.2.0.118, with label 'HCA.DLGL.A0'
Secondary image is v4.6.000 build 3.0.0.160, with label 'HCA.DLGL.A0'
Vital Product Data
Product Name: DLGL

E/C: Rev: A1
S/N: 6AN0101
Freq/Power: PW=10W;PCIe 8X

[root at abe0897 ~]# lspci |grep -i mell

(Tavor compatibility mode) (rev a0)
[root at nodeXXXX ~]#

I'm aware that I should probably be going through my vendor to get an
answer here, but circumstances have put the odds against me with that
route. Can anyone tell me the proper updated firmware I should be
downloading? I think "DLGL" is a Cisco rebranded version of some other
firmware, but I don't know which... (or what changes it might have
within it). Cisco's website offers me absolutely zero insight here.
thx-
Jeremy
