My server has 4x Intel Xeon Phi 5110P accelerator cards. it runs Centos 6.5 with kernel version 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
When updating MPSS from 2.1 to 3.3.4 and 3.4.3, I receive the following error:
[root@XXXXX mpss-3.3.4]# /usr/bin/micflash -update -device all -smcbootloader
Error getting SCIF driver version
failed to open mic'0': /sys/class/mic/mic0/family: Knights Corner: not supported: Operation canceled
failed to open mic'1': /sys/class/mic/mic1/family: Knights Corner: not supported: Operation canceled
failed to open mic'2': /sys/class/mic/mic2/family: Knights Corner: not supported: Operation canceled
failed to open mic'3': /sys/class/mic/mic3/family: Knights Corner: not supported: Operation canceled
As the comparison is done on the string in the family file, are the cards hardware-incompatible with newer versions of the MPSS?
The cards have the following configuration -
Device Series: ........... Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) Coprocessor
Device ID: ............... 2250
Number of Cores: ......... 60
OS Version: .............. 2.6.38.8-gefd324e
Flash Version: ........... 2.1.03.0386
Driver Version: .......... DRIVERS_6720-19 (build@localhost.localdomain 2013-08-23 15:23:06 -0400)
Stepping: ................ 3
SubStepping: ............. 0
Thank you!
