Oracle infiniband 36 switch problem

[epicurean]

For some reason after upgrading the firmware to 2.18, I cannot get any lights to show on this switch anyone.
I restart the ports, but even with the cables plugged in, they just show that the cables are connected.

I don't think the cables are the problem, because I can connect the same cables between 2 hosts (esxi) and they light up fine.

There must be some setting that I am missing or deactivated somehow.

Any help appreciated. Much Thanks

I have enclosed the log to see if it helps

 

[epicurean]

Anyone has any idea?

Have you had a dig around oracles support site ?

 

[epicurean]

Yes I have, no luck there. And when I contacted support, they would not lift a finger unless I subscribe to a corporate support package which cost thousands of dollars.

is SM running? is auto disable configured on the ports?

 

[epicurean]

Yes SM is running.
I don't think "auto disable" is configured for the ports. How do I check that?

 

[Drewy]

from the cli:
autodisable none

 

[epicurean]

That seemed to have no effect.Is the cli interface same as doing a putty in?

 

[Drewy]

yep.
There is a bug report for this version related to autodisable not working correctly and the suggested workaround is to disable autodisable.
I don't believe that it's a confirmed bug at this point.
I have a number of these switches running this version without issue and many more running the previous version. All upgrades went smoothly. These are production systems so I can't "play" with them.

Only other thing I could suggest would be to try going back to a previous version.

 

[epicurean]

This is the only version of firmware that I have. Would you be able to provide a link to another?
This switch DID work before I updated the firmware to 2,18.

Much Thanks!

 

[Drewy]

I'm sorry I don't have any firmware. Oracle upgrade ours as part of support contract.

 

[epicurean]

any chance you can extract/export the firmware ?

 

[Drewy]

Technically I could but it's not something I can legally do. Much more at risk here than your switch I'm afraid.
