NAME

       hermon - ConnectX MT25408/MT25418/MT25428 InfiniBand (IB) Driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  hermon  driver  is an IB Architecture-compliant implementation of an HCA, which operates on the Mellanox MT25408,  MT25418 and MT25428
       InfiniBand ASSPs using host memory for context storage  rather than  locally  attached memory on the card. Cards  based	 on  these  ASSP's
       utilize the PCI-Express I/O  bus. These	ASSP's	support  the  link and physical layers of the InfiniBand specification while  the ASSP and
       the driver support the transport layer.

       The hermon driver interfaces with  the InfiniBand  Transport Framework (IBTF) and provides an implementation of the Channel Interfaces that
       are defined by that framework.  It  also enables  management applications and agents to access the IB fabric.

DIAGNOSTICS

       In addition to being  logged, the following  messages may appear on the system console:

       hermoni: driver attached for maintenance mode only.

	   There was a failure in the boot  process of	the  hermon ASSP  and  the only function that can be performed is to re-flash  firmware on
	   the ASSP. (Note that i represents  the instance of the hermon device number.)

       hermoni: driver failed to attach

	   The ASSP could not boot into either	operational  (HCA) mode or into maintenance mode. The device is inoperable. (Note that	 i  repre-
	   sents  the instance of the hermon device number.)

       Unexpected port number in port state change event.

	   A  port  state  change event occurred, but the port	number in  the message does not exist on this HCA. This message also indicates the
	   port number that was in the port state changed.

       Hermon driver successfully detached.

	   The driver has been removed from the system and the HCA is no longer available for transfer operations.

       hermoni: port m up.

	   A port up asynchronous event has occurred. (Note that  i represents the  instance of the Hermon device number while "m" represents  the
	   port number on the Hermon device.

       hermoni: port m down.

	   A port up asynchronous event has occurred. Similar to port up event.

       hermon: <command name> command failed.

	   A internal firmware command failed to execute.

NAME

       ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer

DESCRIPTION

       InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod-
       ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers.

       IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the  IB	Channel  Interface
       (CI) and the IB Transport Interface (TI).

       The  CI	consists  of  Host  Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris
       InfiniBand CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA) "verbs" specification.

       The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and
       communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only.
