Examples of mlxconfig Usage

To query the device’s configuration, use the following command line:

Copy
Copied!
            

# mlxconfig -d <device> query

ConnectX-3 Example:

Copy
Copied!
            

# mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4099_pciconf0 q   Device type: ConnectX-3 PCI device: /dev/mst/ /dev/mst/mt4099_pciconf0   Device 1: ----------- Configurations: Next Boot SRIOV_EN True(1) NUM_OF_VFS 16 WOL_MAGIC_EN_P1 False(0) WOL_MAGIC_EN_P2 False(0)

Warning

N/A means that the device default configuration is set.

Warning

For Array type parameters, the query command will not show a value for it. It will only show you the word "Array" and the range of the array.

  • For example: HOST_CHAINING_DESCRIPTORS Array[0..7]

  • To query the fifth element in the array, run: mlxconfig -d <device> query HOST_CHAINING_DESCRIPTORS[5]

  • To specify a range: mlxconfig -d <device> query HOST_CHAINING_DESCRIPTORS[3..7]

  • To set the fifth element in the array, run: mlxconfig -d <device> set HOST_CHAINING_DESCRIPTORS[5]=3

  • Or you can set value for more than one element: mlxconfig -d <device> set HOST_CHAINING_DESCRIPTORS[3..7]=3
