8 hermon \- ConnectX MT25408/MT25418/MT25428 InfiniBand (IB) Driver
12 The \fBhermon\fR driver is an IB Architecture-compliant implementation of an
13 HCA, which operates on the Mellanox MT25408, MT25418 and MT25428 InfiniBand
14 ASSPs using host memory for context storage rather than locally attached
15 memory on the card. Cards based on these ASSP's utilize the PCI-Express I/O
16 bus. These ASSP's support the link and physical layers of the InfiniBand
17 specification while the ASSP and the driver support the transport layer.
20 The \fBhermon\fR driver interfaces with the InfiniBand Transport Framework
21 (IBTF) and provides an implementation of the Channel Interfaces that are
22 defined by that framework. It also enables management applications and
23 agents to access the IB fabric.

91 In addition to being logged, the following messages may appear on the system
96 \fBhermon\fBi\fR: driver attached for maintenance mode only.\fR
100 There was a failure in the boot process of the hermon ASSP and the only
101 function that can be performed is to re-flash firmware on the ASSP. (Note that
102 \fBi\fR represents the instance of the hermon device number.)
108 \fBhermon\fBi:\fR driver failed to attach\fR
112 The ASSP could not boot into either operational (HCA) mode or into
113 maintenance mode. The device is inoperable. (Note that \fB i\fR represents the
114 instance of the hermon device number.)
120 \fBUnexpected port number in port state change event.\fR
124 A port state change event occurred, but the port number in the message does
125 not exist on this HCA. This message also indicates the port number that was in
126 the port state changed.
132 \fBHermon driver successfully detached.\fR
136 The driver has been removed from the system and the HCA is no longer available
137 for transfer operations.
143 \fBhermon\fBi:\fR port \fBm\fR up.\fR
147 A port up asynchronous event has occurred. (Note that \fB i\fR represents the
148 instance of the Hermon device number while "m" represents the port number on
155 \fBhermon\fBi:\fR port \fBm\fR down.\fR
159 A port up asynchronous event has occurred. Similar to port up event.
165 \fBhermon: <command name> command failed.\fR
169 A internal firmware command failed to execute.
