Troubleshooting MLNX_OFED Installation
For troubleshooting driver installation, please check Mellanox OFED driver user manual:
http://www.mellanox.com
=> Support > Adapter IB/VPI SW.
If you need to update your card firmware, download the new firmware.
Unzip the downloaded file and run flint/mstflint command:
flint -d <device> -i <fw-file> [-guid <GUID> | -guids <4 GUIDS> | -mac <MAC> | -macs <2 MACs>] burn
Check VPI setup – Ethernet / InfiniBand configuration
For Example:
flint -d /dev/mst/mt26428_pci_cr0 –i fw-25408-2_7_000-MNPH28B-XTC_A1-A2.bin burn
Loading the Ethernet Driver
By default, the Mellanox OFED stack loads mlx4_en. Run ‘lsmod’ to verify that the module is
listed.
Example:
Host# lsmod | grep mlx4_en
mlx4_en 109708 0
mlx4_core 136804 2 mlx4_en,mlx4_ib
If you don’t see the mlx4_en driver, run:
’ modprobe mlx4_en’
Another option is to use the command below to see which modules are active.
Edit ”/etc/infiniband/openib.conf” which modules needs to loaded from a service.
For example:
# Load MLX4_EN module
MLX4_EN_LOAD=yes
