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 uti‐
       lize  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 applica‐
       tions 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 rep‐
	   resents  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.
