If you need to install 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
(suchaspdsh).
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
inside the MLNX_OFED package.
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.
Example:The following command will create a MLNX_OFED_LINUX ISO image for
RedHat 7.3 under the /tmp directory.
# ./MLNX_OFED_LINUX-x.x-x-rhel7.3-x86_64/mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh -m /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-x.x-x-
rhel7.3-x86_64/ --make-tgz
Note: This program will create MLNX_OFED_LINUX TGZ for rhel7.3 under /tmp directory.
All Mellanox, OEM, OFED, or Distribution IB packages will be removed.

On Redhat and SLES distributions with errata kernel installed there is no need
to use the mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh script. The regular installation can be
performed and weak-updates mechanism will create symbolic links to the
MLNX_OFED kernel modules.
If you regenerate kernel modules for a custom kernel (using --add-kernel-
support), the packages installation will not involve automatic regeneration of
the initramfs. In some cases, such as a system with a root filesystem mounted
over a ConnectX card, not regenerating the initramfs may even cause the
system to fail to reboot.
In such cases, the installer will recommend running the following command to
update the initramfs:
On some OSs,dracut -fmight result in the following error message which
can be safely ignore.
libkmod: kmod_module_new_from_path: kmod_module 'mdev' already
exists with different path
On Ubuntu and Debian 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 and
Debian distributions.
