Myri-10G and Myrinet-2000 Diagnostic Tools

10G NIC Tool Kit

The 10G NIC Tool Kit for Myri-10G NICs provides diagnostic information about the operation of the NIC and the reprogramming of its EEPROM firmware. A self-test procedure for the NIC is also included (for Linux only).

Fabric Management System

The Fabric Management System (FMS) is the recommended diagnostic tool for Myri-10G (Myrinet mode only) networks and Myrinet-2000 networks.

The current version is: fms-1.2.4.tar.gz.
Installation instructions for FMS, as well as typical usage scenarios, can be found on the FMS webpage.
FMS is supported on Myrinet-2000 M3-CLOS-ENCL*/M3-SPINE-ENCL* and M3-E* switches.
FMS is supported with MX-2G, GM-2, and GM-1.
A patch for FMS is required for interoperability with GM-1. This patch has only been tested with GM-1.6.5. Once the patch is applied, the code will only work on GM-1 (not GM-2 or MX). You should delete your old FMS database before starting up the new fms and fmas.
