Rev 1.8 26 Mellanox Technologies
• Identifies the currently installed Ethernet network adapters and automatically
1
upgrades the
firmware
Usage
The installation script removes all previously installed Mellanox OFED packages and re-installs
from scratch. You will be prompted to acknowledge the deletion of the old packages.
• If you need to install Mellanox OFED on an entire (homogeneous) cluster, a common strategy
is to mount the ISO image on one of the cluster nodes and then copy it to a shared file system
such as NFS. To install on all the cluster nodes, use cluster-aware tools (such as pdsh).
• If your kernel version does not match with any of the offered pre-built RPMs, you can add
your kernel version by using the
“mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh”
script located under the
docs/ directory.
The
“mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh”
script can be executed directly from the mlnxofedinstall
script. For further information, please see
'--add-kernel-support'
option below.
Usage:
1. The firmware will not be updated if you run the install script with the ‘--without-fw-update’ option.
./mnt/mlnxofedinstall [OPTIONS]
Pre-existing configuration files will be saved with the extension “.conf.rpmsave”.
On Redhat distributions with errata kernel installed there is no need to use the mlnx_ad-
d_kernel_support.sh script. The regular installation can be performed and weak-updates
mechanism will create symbolic links to the MLNX_OFED kernel modules.
On Ubuntu distributions drivers installation use Dynamic Kernel Module Support
(DKMS) framework. Thus, the drivers' compilation will take place on the host during
MLNX_OFED installation.
Therefore, using
"mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh"
is irrelevant on Ubuntu distribu-
tions.
