Getting the Mellanox chip revision

Infrastructure & Networking Software And Drivers Mellanox OFED
1

Configuration:

Host: CentOS 6.5

Mellanox Adapter: ConnectX-3 EN

Mellanox Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-3.0-1.0.1-rhel6.5-x86_64 with SRIOV enabled

Virtualization: KVM with SRIOV devices PCI passthroughed

How can I get the chip revision of the Mellanox adapter without opening up my server?

I saw a web page Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards , which shows the output of a command to show the chip revision, but the same command doesn’t show the chip revision for me.

What is missing was the line

Chip rev.: A1

from Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards

When I executed the command listed above it didn’t show any line that says

Chip rev: …

Thanks yairi Infrastructure & Networking - NVIDIA Developer Forums , but it doesn’t show the chip revision. I was looking for physical card chip revision.

Thanks ophirmaor Infrastructure & Networking - NVIDIA Developer Forums , exactly what I was looking for.

To be precise I was looking for the line that says Engineering changes aka EC from the site you mentioned.

[EC] Engineering changes: A4

Sorry yairi Infrastructure & Networking - NVIDIA Developer Forums for me hw_ver: 0x1, but the chip rev is A6. I don’t see any correlation. Thanks.
