This is for a different node where I can get ibnetdiscover to run, but the results are:
vendid=0x2c9
devid=0x5a44
sysimgguid=0x2c90107fc5be3
caguid=0x2c90107fc5be0
Ca 2 "H-0002c90107fc5be0" # "MT23108 InfiniHost Mellanox Technologies"
[1](2c90107fc5be1) "S-0002c9010b08fb60"[24] # lid 2 lmc 0 "MT47396 Infiniscale-III Mellanox Technologies" lid 3 4xSDR
The HCA driver simply reports back whatever has been set in its local node_desc field, which is settable by writing to a file:
echo Goofy > /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/node_desc
new outout is:
vendid=0x2c9
devid=0x5a44
sysimgguid=0x2c90107fc5be3
caguid=0x2c90107fc5be0
Ca 2 "H-0002c90107fc5be0" # "Goofy "
[1](2c90107fc5be1) "S-0002c9010b08fb60"[24] # lid 2 lmc 0 "MT47396 Infiniscale-III Mellanox Technologies" lid 3 4xSDR
