Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR


RacerX

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I upgraded my N54L to DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5.

It works fine, thanks....

 

I had a little time to test out my Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR.

At XPEnoboot boot

Loading Module Megaraid_SAS fails it's red

All other Modules load correctly in green

 

The Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR is the only card in the N54L.

Starting to think that the Mac Address for the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR needs to be written into the firmware.

Some more Information. I removed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR from my N54L. To get a little more info without messing up my existing xpnology setup. I installed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR in a WIndows 10 64bit PC. The operating system found the card right out of the box in the device manager. There are two tools that need to downloaded

 

MLNX_VPI_WinOF-5_10_All_win2012R2_x64 and WinMFT_x64_3_8_0_56 for connectX 2 cards.

Notice fw_ver=2.07.0000 this means the firmware is old. The current one is fw_ver=2.09.1000

also you can see the mac address for each port.

This page helped me figure out how to flash the firmware on the card

The firmware file for Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR is fw-ConnectX2-rel-2_9_1000-MHQH29B-XTR_A1.bin

 

I tested the file before I flashed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR.

 

flint -d mt26428_pci_cr0 fw-ConnectX2-rel-2_9_1000-MHQH29B-XTR_A1.bin v

Then I flashed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR

flint -d mt26428_pci_cr0 -i fw-ConnectX2-rel-2_9_1000-MHQH29B-XTR_A1.bin -allow_psid_change -y b

reboot

I had some more time today to work on the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR. I put the card into the N54L and tested some more

I installed installed the infiniband-5.2 ko files and changed /etc/rc and /etc.default/rc with vi

Then rebooted, I was hoping that this would straighten it out.....

I added a second card into my Windows 10 PC to try and make a direct connection to the N54L.

C:\Program Files\Mellanox>ibstat
CA 'ibv_device0'
       CA type:

It says I'm at 40GB over IB. I now have a green light lit on the back end of each card. But Windows Networking says the ports are unplugged.

 

So with the N54L DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5

control panel

network

network interface

the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR ports are not available. Any thoughts.....

Running "ibnetdiscover" gives you list of all nodes connected to your IB network and their "lid" numbers.

With the extra "-d" (debug) and "-v" (verbose) flags, you should see extra info on both sides for each IB ping.

Hi, question is how did you get the card to be recognised in xpenology. I am running 5.2.5644, and can see the drivers are already configured in the rc files. And the modules(mlx_compat.ko mlx4_en.ko and mlx4_core.ko) are in the /lib/modules/ folder. But card does not show up in GUI or in the verbose when booting up. If I do ifconfig -a it is not there. If I do lsmod they show up there but don't think mlx4_en.ko is getting loaded correctly.

Any help would be appreciated. I have the card in the topic.

I added the infininband 5.2 drivers to the /lib/modules/ folder and edited the rc accordingly. And now have lights on card and subnet manager on Windows pc shows it is up. I can also see the card using ifconfig -a in putty, all drivers show loaded when doing lsmod. But I still cant get it to show in the xpenology network gui, so I can set the ip address. I am installed bare metal. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have gotten both the infiniband and ethernet to kinda work on this card. The ethernet shows up in xpenology network control panel, when I have the port set to infiniband it does not. So still need to know how to make that happen. I can manually assign the infiniband port a ip address and connect to the xpenology gui with that address, but does not show up in network gui.

I've been looking at rolling out infiniband across my network as a cheap way to get to 10G for my vsphere servers. I recall reading that DSM appears to be hardcoded for certain things, such as drives starting with sdx which leads to cards that don't come up as that not showing drives.... Maybe this is the same sort of thing, DSM doesn't recognise any adapters/connections that do not start with eth as I think the infiniband adapters will start with ib?

 

You should be able to roll the infiniband cards in to vsphere and run it on the hypervisor as you can then use the emulated 10g Ethernet VMX3 driver in Xpenology and get the full speed.
