5. (InfiniBand only) Run the hca_self_test.ofed utility to verify whether or not the
InfiniBand link is up. The utility also checks for and displays additional information
such as:
HCA firmware version
Kernel architecture
Driver version
Number of active HCA ports along with their states
Node GUID
For more details on hca_self_test.ofed, see the file
docs/readme_and_user_manual/hca_self_test.readme.
After installation completion, information about the OFED installation, such as prefix,
kernel version, and installation parameters can be retrieved by running the command
/etc/infiniband/info. Most of the 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.
