Greetings,
I hope someone with experience can provide some tips or assist. I'm attempting to upgrade the Mellanox drivers on a system with a ConnectX-3 card. This is my very first atttempt...
# lspci | grep -i mell 01:00.0 Network controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
After upgrading and rebooting the system I now get:
ibstat ibwarn: [7687] umad_init: can't read ABI version from /sys/class/infiniband_mad/abi_version (No such file or directory): is ib_umad module loaded? ibpanic: [7687] main: can't init UMAD library: No such file or directory
On a system that works, the list of associated rpms is:
# rpm -qa | grep -i ofed kernel-ib-1.5.3-3.0.51_0.7.9_default_OFED.1.5.3.4.0.42.g3cb72fe ofed-scripts-1.5.3-OFED.1.5.3.4.0.42 mlnxofed-docs-1.5.3-4.0.42 kernel-ib-devel-1.5.3-3.0.51_0.7.9_default_OFED.1.5.3.4.0.42.g3cb72fe
On the upgraded system I get:
rpm -qa | grep -i ofed ofed-docs-1.5.4-OFED.1.5.4. ofed-scripts-1.5.4-OFED.1.5.4.
Perhaps I should be selecting "kernel-ib" and "kernel-ib-devel" ? The documentation provided by Intel's MPSS OFED software guide suggests these options should not be selected.
I can provide more details on the installation options selected during the compilation process.
Cheers,
John
