4. If the installation script has performed a firmware update on your network adapter,
complete the step relevant to your adapter card type to load the firmware:
• ConnectX-5/ConnectX-5 Ex - perform a standard reboot
Otherwise, restart the driver by running:
/etc/init.d/openibd restart
After installation completion, information about the Mellanox OFED installation, such as prefix, kernel
version, and installation parameters can be retrieved by running the command /etc/infiniband/info.
Most of the Mellanox OFED components can be configured or reconfigured after the installation, by
modifying the relevant configuration files. See the relevant chapters in this manual for details.
The list of the modules that will be loaded automatically upon boot can be found in the /etc/infiniband/
openib.conf file.
In case your machine has the latest firmware, no firmware update will occur and the
installation script will print at the end of installation a message similar to the following:
