“Installing the Linux Drivers with
RoCE Configuration for Ubuntu
To configure RoCE on the adapter for an Ubuntu host, RDMA must be installed
and configured on the Ubuntu host.
To configure and set up RoCE for Ubuntu 14.04.5/16.04.1 Linux:
1.
When you begin installing the Ubuntu server, verify if the basic packages,
modules, and tools are available for Ethernet and RDMA. Log in as ROOT,
and install all required packages.
a.
Install the basic packages required for Ubuntu:
#
apt-get install -f build-essential pkg-config vlan
automake autoconf dkms git
b.
Install the following RDMA packages required for Ubuntu:
#
apt-get install –f libibverbs* librdma* libibcm.*
libibmad.* libibumad*
c.
Install RDMA user space tools and libraries required for Ubuntu:
#
apt-get install -f libtool ibutils ibverbs-utils
rdmacm-utils infiniband-diags perftest librdmacm-dev
libibverbs-dev numactl libnuma-dev libnl-3-200
libnl-route-3-200 libnl-route-3-dev libnl-utils
2.
If the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-rdma.rules
does not exist, create it
with the following content:
KERNEL=="umad*", NAME="infiniband/%k"
KERNEL=="issm*", NAME="infiniband/%k"
KERNEL=="ucm*", NAME="infiniband/%k", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="uverbs*", NAME="infiniband/%k", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="ucma", NAME="infiniband/%k", MODE="0666"
NOTE
You might see a few packages already installed because of a
dependency, but make sure that all of the preceding packages are
installed (
dpkg --get-selections | grep <pkg_name>
). Follow the
package installation method prescribed by Ubuntu.
