The Myrinet PMDA uses SNMP queries to extract per-port performance stats
from the SNMP server in 16-port Myrinet switches. The 4-port switch does
not have an SNMP server and thus cannot be monitored.
The Myrinet PMDA is part of the pcp-ace RPM, which has RPM dependencies
on the pcp-pro RPM. However, if you have the pcp-ace RPM you can
always rpm --force the install. The Myrinet PMDA should work without
pcp-pro installed, and you could monitor a Myrinet switch using tools
like pmval and pminfo (which are open source), but the GUI monitoring
tools mentioned in the ACE docs will either not work or not be available
at all because pcp-pro is not installed.
Another option is to use snmpget to query the switch directly.
