The installation script removes all previously installed OFED packages and re-installs from
scratch. You will be prompted to acknowledge the deletion of the old packages.
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.
./mnt/mlnxofedinstall [OPTIONS]
Warning
Pre-existing configuration files will be saved with the extension
“.conf.rpmsave”.
Warning
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.
