Hello, Infiniband noob here. I’m attempting to get a point to point IB connection between an HP server running server2012R2 and an storage server running Open-E DSS v7.
I purchased 2 HP 448397-B21 Rev a1 cards from E-bay, which I understand are Mellanox MHGH28-XTC.
First card was put in the HP server for the purpose of updating the firmware to v 2.9.000, downloaded from the Mellanox site.
Firmware was burned using the following command:
PS C:\Users\administrator.> flint -d mt401_pciconf0 -i fw-25408-2_9_1000-MHGH28-XTC_A2-A3.bin -nofs -allow psid_change burn
and was successful.
The second card was installed and when I execute MST status -v it returns:
PS C:\Users\administrator> mst status -v
-E- MST devices:
mt25418_pci_cr0 bus:dev.fn=13:00.0
mt25418_pciconf0 bus:dev.fn=13:00.0
mt401_pciconf0 bus:dev.fn=00:00.0
-E- Failed to read configuration header from device: mt401_pciconf0
Trying to update the firmware, changing the card id to MT401_pciconf0
PS C:\Users\administrator.> flint -d mt401_pciconf0 -i fw-25408-2_9_1000-MHGH28-XTC_A2-A3.bin -nofs -allow psid_change burn
Returns: -E- Cannot open Device: mt401_pciconf0. MFE_NO_FLASH_DETECTED
PS C:\Users\administrator.>
So; is the second card hosed? Beyond salvage?
thanks in advance
