If your host is running AIX, issue the command lsdev -Ct gmpci, and you should 
see output similar to the following.

Before the GM module is loaded on the host, the Myrinet NICs will be listed as 
Defined. As soon as the GM software is loaded on the host, the entry will change 
to Available. Be aware that AIX keeps a memory of NICs previously installed in 
PCI slots. In this example, the Myrinet NIC previously installed in slot 1D-08 has 
since been removed.
