Installing MLNX_OFED
Installation Script
The installation script, mlnxofedinstall, performs the following:
Discovers the currently installed kernel
Uninstalls any software stacks that are part of the standard operating system
distribution or another vendor's commercial stack
Installs the MLNX_OFED_LINUX binary RPMs (if they are available for the current
kernel)
Identifies the currently installed InfiniBand and Ethernet network adapters and
automatically upgrades the firmware
Note: To perform a firmware upgrade using customized firmware binaries, a path
can be provided to the folder that contains the firmware binary files, by running --
fw-image-dir. Using this option, the firmware version embedded in the MLNX_OFED
package will be ignored.
Example:
Usage
./mlnxofedinstall --fw-image-dir /tmp/my_fw_bin_files
Warning
If the driver detects unsupported cards on the system, it will
abort the installation procedure. To avoid this, make sure to add
--skip-unsupported-devices-check flag during installation.
