.SH NAME
hermon \- ConnectX MT25408/MT25418/MT25428 InfiniBand (IB) Driver
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBhermon\fR 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.
.sp
.LP
The \fBhermon\fR 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.

\fBhermon\fBi\fR: driver attached for maintenance mode only.\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
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
\fBi\fR represents the instance of the hermon device number.)
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBhermon\fBi:\fR driver failed to attach\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The ASSP could not boot into either operational (HCA) mode or into
maintenance mode. The device is inoperable. (Note that \fB i\fR represents the
instance of the hermon device number.)
.RE

.ne 2
.na
\fBUnexpected port number in port state change event.\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
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.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBHermon driver successfully detached.\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The driver has been removed from the system and the HCA is no longer available
for transfer operations.
.RE

\fBhermon\fBi:\fR port \fBm\fR up.\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A port up asynchronous event has occurred. (Note that \fB i\fR represents the
instance of the Hermon device number while "m" represents the port number on
the Hermon device.
