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

DESCRIPTION
     The hermon driver is an IB Architecture-compliant  implemen-
     tation  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 phy-
     sical 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 Chan-
     nel 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 represents  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

         while "m" represents the port number on the Hermon  dev-
         ice.


     hermoni: port m down.

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


     hermon:  command failed.

         A internal firmware command failed to execute.
