Getting IB to work

Intel EEL only provide the kernel package and not the kernel-devel package. For IB to work we need to rebuild MLNX_OFED.

• Get the kernel-devel RPM

  wget http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.1.6/el6/server/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.11.1.el6_lustre.x86_64.rpm
  rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.11.1.el6_lustre.x86_64.rpm  --force

• Rebuild Mellanox OFED
• Assuming were using MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.0-2.0.5-rhel6.4-x86_64.iso

<syntaxhighlight>

 mkdir MLNX
 mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.0-2.0.5-rhel6.4-x86_64.iso MLNX
 cd MLNX
 ./mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh -m .

 ## Output
 [root@blade1 MLNX]# ./mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh -m .
 Note: This program will create MLNX_OFED_LINUX TGZ for rhel6.4 under /tmp directory.
     All Mellanox, OEM, OFED, or Distribution IB packages will be removed.
 Do you want to continue?[y/N]:y
