Verify the HCA Initialization

1. Run the dmesg command.
Look for a line towards the end of the dmesg output like "Mellanox Tavor Device Driver is
creating device InfiniHost0."
There should be no error messages immediately following this line.
When initially installing host drivers, the firmware is upgraded automatically, if needed. However, the
following procedure may be used to upgrade an HCA at a later time.
