How to Check Uptime & Upgrade Firmware on infiniband unmanage switch
You can check the unmanaged status with some MFT commands on the hosts in the fabric. Assume there is an unmanaged switch with LID 1, then you can check the uptime information with the following command:
# mlxuptime -d lid-1
Measured core frequency : 535.011895 MHz
Device up time : 985:32:37.0 [h:m:s.usec]And you can also check the current firmware information with this following command:
# flint -d lid-1 q
