That the is the version MPOGR explicitly stated, as the files he modified in assembly were for that specific version, and those files do change with each release. I have access to all releases for these sx switches through work, including the last one released Feb of this year (3.6.8012), and...

I've added MPOGR's conversion guide to the zip of files that I've hosted in the link on page 8, since so many of you need it.

The original link was fixed with a new zip that has all the files necessary for the conversion, including the jffs2 image, the files mporg edited, and the extracted firmware binary to flash.

The reason the conversion guide works on EMC 6012's is because the uboot console isn't locked out since EMC does ALL the configuration through that. The locked uboot from Mellanox is by design, because they make their money off the licenses.

I bought one about a month ago because I couldn't get the firmware flashed on one of my 6012's. It reads exactly as listed - MSX6036F-2SFR and while it is HP, its full blown Mellanox. The reason you can find them that cheap, is because Mellanox just EOL'd the switch-x2 platform. Last MLXOS...

type the following code: setenv mlxlinux "run jffs2_args boot_common_args;bootm ${kernel_addr} - ${fdt_addr}" then saveenv now try 'run mlxlinux'

You should be seeing some ECC errors and then finally prompt. If it's doing a kernel panic, re-write the binary (remember, its the extensionless file inside the zip, not the zip itself). tftp 400000 <tftpaddy>:mlnxbase nand erase clean 0 1FFFFFFF nand write ${fileaddr} 0 ${filesize}

Use the file within the following zip http://www.jslenterprises.net/mlnxbase.zip save you the trouble of building the jffs2 image.

That is the max speed you will get on PCIe 2.0 (if you have an x56xx series Xeon) which the r610 is. the Rx20's and newer do PCIe 3.0 (8GT/s per lane). After overhead, your speed should be sitting ~12.7 gigabytes/s (jumbo frames or not wont make a difference) Also, make sure the card is not...

All EMC switches that were part of a dual fabric (A/B) are all MSX6012F-2BRS with their custom 'dumb' mlxos on it.

For Dell 6012F-2BRS's the part specifically to look for (that already have the gateway license by default) is 00YY0K_0YC5N8

@MikeWebb enter this in uboot then saveenv setenv rootdev /dev/mtdblock7 that space in the command is an = for the variable

Thanks MikeWebb, i got back the missing arg's for u-boot, without re-adding the extra crap that emc added. I get it to boot normally again now back to my initial problem to figure out why the initialization of the ports fail while starting up (first image). Edit: Lets see if anything...

So, no one willing to share their u-boot env args? "printenv" is all you need to do, then copy paste

F-2BFS

Well, I literally just cleared everything. I accidentally ran envreset in uboot. can someone run a "printenv" within uboot and send me a copy so I can rebuild it the arguments. If anyone is wondering, below is the virgin uboot env without any config for the various oem's/mellanox bootcmd=run...

Using monoprice dac's (have a qdr IBM switch which my 2 mel/emc switches are going to replace, and the dac's work fine on it. however, it only does l2 ethernet switching when not doing ib which is why I want to swap it out) Open Subnet manager is running on one of my servers, connection doesn't...

I give up. I cant get any of the ports to initialize (qsfp), so I cant fw update via inband. I cant update the fw from the switch, even though flint is literally sitting on the switch ( /dev/mtdblock7/usr/bin/ ), and so is the god damn bin.

Yeah, still no luck, it might be because I haven't updated the firmware yet. I don't have the ability to update it via inband methods (im preparing my switches via laptop at my other residence, while my homelab is a good 3 hours away. is there a method to update it out of band through the...

Anyone having the issue of the management site being stuck "initializing" after successfully doing the conversion? I can manage it via CLI, but the management site seems stuck.
