Hi,
I'm having a set of machines with Intel S2600JFQ motherboards which have Mellanox Infiniband cards (PSID: INCX-3I358C10501 ), Since I'm having RHEL/Centos 6.5 installed on my systems I've had to install the latest stack of the MLNX_OFED software, but it was always complaining about the firmware version of the cards (it is 2.11.1308). Theoretically the OFED stack requires something like 2.30.XXX. Despite that, things were working reasonably fine. Recently I've noticed that the same cards on S2600JFQs but slightly newer revisions (PSID: INCX-3I358C10551 ) have got a firmware update: http://www.mellanox.com/page/firmware_table_Intel?mtag=oem_firmware_download. I was wondering whether I should expect maybe a firmware update for my cards as well, or all hope is lost ? Also it is interesting what people think about running recent OFED versions on slightly outdated firmware (because that seems to be the only alternative to actually updating firmware)
Thank you,
Sergey
