Hi Sergey,
It is a bit odd that the firmware for the HCA PSID INCX-3I358C10551 was bumped up to 2.30.8000 and the FW for “501” wasn’t. If you have a support contract with Mellanox, then you should put in for a request to get this FW upgraded for the 501 cards. I’m assuming that a specific request came in to upgrade the 551 cards and there has been no request to upgrade FW for 501’s (no reference to Levis here). That being said, as Mellanox releases newer MLNX_OFED version, they of course test with the latest FW release (which is at 2.31.5050 at the time of this post) and back-test (i.e. regression tests) with older revisions, e.g. 2.30.8000, 2.30.3200, etc… but, only back to a certain point. 2.11.1308 is quite old so I’d doubt it was tested with the latest MLNX_OFED software stack. Hope this helps a bit? Thanks.
Branko.
