Miniport reset led to a driver hang when occurred during driver disabling, or to a system crash when occurred during driver shutdown. The following issues have been resolved in version 5.22: Fixed an issue that caused the perftuning.exe tool cease to function in case of Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, when running a dual-port configuration. Download the drivers from the computer manufacture's website for Windows 10, if not available. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

Firmware for use with HP NC543i 2-port 4x QDR IB/10Gb Adapter used in HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server

New Features and Changes in Version 2.9.1710:

  • Increased UAR BAR size from 8MB to 32MB in the INI

Prerequisites:

  • HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server needs an 'enablement key' to be physically installed to enable InfiniBand port functionality. If Enablement key (614841-B21) is not installed, then the ibstat command reports links as disabled and they can only be used for 10GE.
    Note: Refer to the HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server documentation for instruction on how to order this option if InfiniBand functionality is required.

  • If InfiniBand is enabled then you have to use HP supported InfiniBand VPI driver.
    HP supported Mellanox InfiniBand VPI driver MLNX OFED 1.5.3-40.35 or later
    HP supported Mellanox InfiniBand VPI driver MLNX OFED 2.1-1.0.0 or later

On ConnectX-2 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the driver utilities return a value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the value returned from the driver fabric/utilities should be used.

  • Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities

On ConnectX-2 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the driver utilities return a value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the value returned from the driver fabric/utilities should be used.

  • Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities
