Specifications
AIX
If your host is running AIX, issue the command lsdev -Ct gmpci, and you should
see output similar to the following.
<…>
ent2 Available 1V-08 Myrinet GM/Ethernet PCI Adapter
ent3 Defined 1D-08 Myrinet GM/Ethernet PCI Adapter
ent4 Available 1H-08 Myrinet GM/Ethernet PCI Adapter
<…>
Before the GM module is loaded on the host, the Myrinet NICs will be listed as
Defined. As soon as the GM software is loaded on the host, the entry will change
to Available. Be aware that AIX keeps a memory of NICs previously installed in
PCI slots. In this example, the Myrinet NIC previously installed in slot 1D-08 has
since been removed.
