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

  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.

• Install the newly created version of MLNX_OFED

  cp /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.0-2.0.5-rhel6.4-x86_64.tgz ~/scratch
  cd ~/scratch
  tar zxvf MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.0-2.0.5-rhel6.4-x86_64.tgz
