    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Hi everyone, Just wanted to share a quick but important update for anyone struggling with genlicense on version 3.6.8012. Contrary to some older posts suggesting the secret word changes with each release, I can confirm that the classic word m210n%0x9 (ROT18 of z7y5a%5k4) still works perfectly...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to activate the Fabric Inspector (UFM) via the web interface on an SX6012 running MLNX-OS 3.6.8012. This is not specific to a converted EMC model—I've tested the same approach on both a genuine Mellanox SX6012 and a converted one, and the result is identical. The goal...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    I'm following the EMC conversion guide on an SX6012 and have hit a wall with the FRU modification step. I'm hoping someone with deeper hardware knowledge might have an idea. Current state: - OS: MLNX-OS 3.5.1006 and 3.4.0012. CLI works, U-Boot access is unlocked. - FRU is currently original EMC...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Hi everyone, I've been working on converting an EMC SX6012 following the famous dodgy route guide. I've read the massive EMC switch thread and tried many things, but I'm completely stuck at a specific point and need expert advice. Current state: - OS: MLNX-OS 3.5.1006 (PPC_M460EX) on partition...

    ASUS Z10PA-D8 - Dual Socket 2011-3

    Hi everyone! Faced an unexpected problem while installing two M .2 cards. The first of them, Samsung 970 pro 512 gb (2280), is installed in the pci-e via an adapter, the second, Samsung 128 gb (2242), is installed in a regular place on the board. Each of the cards is individually defined in the...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Thanks everyone for the help! Due to current work, I temporarily suspend attempts to get a managed device. For now, I only need to have an infiniband switch, so I flashed the fw6005f firmware and got a working (hopefully) unmanaged switch.

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Thanks to Klui for the helpful link. After replacing Chad and Xwd with those taken from the link from Gabriel Mateiciuc (https://forums.servethehome.com/index.phpmembers/gabriel-mateiciuc.7439/), the device finally boots into the web interface. However, switch is still not found in box OS (MST...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    I got the same problem after calling CLI - fatal internal error. As in your case, I used different firmware for my EMC SX6012 (including for the SX6005 - to get at least unmanaged, but a working device). The result is negative. Were you able to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Dear Rand_! I looked through the forum but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Can I downgrade to old (EMC) firmware (EMC1270110020) after flashing the wrong MT_1260110020 firmware using the console and TFTP (To start the procedure again)? When trying to flash with the Flint command, an...

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    Unfortunately, I only followed the start page, where the author suggested an easy way to get to the unmamaged option using the appropriate firmware. I can interrupt the console, but I do not know how to reflash the device using it

    Beware of EMC switches sold as Mellanox SX6XXX on eBay

    I don't need ethernet, only IB. My small cluster is now working well on IS5022 (unmanaged). There was a desire to slightly increase its performance (up to 56Gb/s). When connected via the console, the PC no longer sees switch (mst status).
