Mellanox Technologies
If you have Operating Systems different than RHEL or SLES, or you have installed a ker-
nel that is not supported by default in MLNX_OFED, you can use the
mlnx_add_ker
-
nel_support.sh
script to build MLNX_OFED for your kernel.
The script will automatically build the matching group RPM packages for your kernel so
that you can still install MLNX_OFED via yum.
Please note that the resulting MLNX_OFED repository will contain unsigned RPMs,
therefore, you should set
'gpgcheck=0'
in the repository configuration file.
Step 2.
Install the desired group.
Installing MLNX_OFED using the YUM tool does not automatically update the firmware.
To update the firmware to the version included in MLNX_OFED package, you can either:
• Run
# yum install mlnx-fw-updater
or
• Update the firmware to the latest version available on Mellanox Technologies’ Web site
as described in Section 4.1.7, “Updating Firmware After Installation,” on page 34.
4.1.5.3 Uninstalling Mellanox OFED using the YUM Tool
Use the script
/usr/sbin/ofed_uninstall.sh
to uninstall the Mellanox OFED package. The
script is part of the ofed-scripts RPM.
