Infiniband Monitoring

The NVIDIA Firmware Tools (MFT) is a toolset to generate a standard or customized NDIVIA firmware image Querying for firmware information. It is required for ibswinfo which can monitor unmanaged Infiniband switches. Our new Infiniband switch is a SB7890 EDR. You will also need

  • infiniband-diags
  • awk, sed, coreutils,

But first lets download MFT for Linux x86 as an rpm package and install. Use the install.sh with no arguments.

This is hairier than it looks. MFT will write as root to /dev and build kernel modules so make sure you have a backup. It will also pull down a suite of packages. So rather than do this on a storage server or head node I will install it on a compute node connected to the switch.
