4. If the installation script has performed a firmware update on your network adapter,
completethe step relevant to your adapter card type to load the firmware:
ConnectX-6 Socket Direct - perform a cold reboot (power cycle)
Otherwise, restart the driver by running:/etc/init.d/openibd restart
For unattended installation, use the --force installation option while running the
MLNX_OFED installation script:
/mnt/mlnxofedinstall --force
MLNX_OFED for Ubuntu should be installed with the following flags in chroot
environment:
./mlnxofedinstall --without-dkms --add-kernel-support --kernel <kernel
version in chroot> --without-fw-update --force
For example:
./mlnxofedinstall --without-dkms --add-kernel-support --kernel
3.13.0-85-generic --without-fw-update --force
Note that the path to kernel sources (--kernel-sources) should be added if the sources
are not in their default location.
