Product Name ProLiant DL180 Gen9
HP Infiniband FDR 2-port 545QSFP Adapter
kernel: mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0: firmware version: 10.10.5052
This adapter was working on RHEL 7.1 and failed after upgrade to 7.3 RedHat support advised:
---------
I find there is at least one other issue reported so far with the 7.3 kernel and the mlx5 modules. It appears the mlx5 module requires a firmware revision of 12.14 or higher. The logging from the yuma host shows a 10.x series firmware. kernel oops with mlx5 when upgrading to RHEL 7.3 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2694091 The findings in the article above are preliminary but it does hint at issues with the older firmware revision. Definitely reach out to your hardware vendor to confirm whether a newer 12.x series firmware is available for your card and if that causes the issue to resolve itself.
----------
Anybody have any experience with this? What is involved upgrading the firmware? Where do I get it? Mellanox web site? HPE? Do I need to go back to RHEL 7.1 or 7.2 to run the firmware upgrade?
