Thank you.

Once a minute I'm getting these errors.  Could someone please help explain what they mean?

Thank you!

Thanks.  Yes, it was fixed after the update.

[Error 2 ocurred.usr: user (0, 70705)]

I'm honestly not sure where to start with this or if it's even a problem?

But I would like temperature and power usage.  Are there any Mellanox tools commands that can provide my missing info.  Do I need a Mellanox coded transceiver?

Also FWIW, this same transceiver in my Brocade switch gives me temperature and current readouts.

It's been a pleasure speaking with you all  :-X 

If someone knows commands to get more information on the transceivers plugged into a Mellanox 3, I would highly appreciate any pointers.  I bought two different transceivers from Fiber-Store on Amazon that said they were Mellanox coded but were not.  One was coded "FIBER-STORE" the other was "OPSTRAN."  I have returned them both.  Here is the output from the "OPSTRAN"

Card's in, all good, MFT is working and the firmware is now updated.

Is there a command to view the optics status?  And can Mellanox view optics status on non-Mellanox coded optics?

Thanks,
craigr

I actually may have it.  I had to uninstall and then reinstall.  I'm waiting on a new Mellanox card.  When it arrives, I will find out.  Right now, I am getting this which is much better than the nothing I was getting before.

I have been stuck trying to install Mellanox MFT on OPNsesne and know I am missing something stupid.  I followed this old post to this old guide:
