I'd appreciate some advice on if I'm using OFED correctly.
I'm running OFED 1.4, however not the kernel modules, just userland.
Is this a bad idea?
I believe so. I'm not a kernel guy, but I've always used the userland
bits matched with the corresponding kernel bits. If nothing else,
getting them to match would eliminate one possible source of errors.
Basically, I recompile the ofed src.rpms for:
dapl, libibcm, libibcommon, libibmad, libibumad, libibverbs, libmthca,
librdmacm, libsdp, mstflint
And install onto CentOS, upgrading the in-distro versions.
Should I also be compiling ofa_kernel ?
Could this be causing problems ?
...could be? I don't really know. That would be a better question
for the gene...@lists.openfabrics.org list.
As explained off-list, I'm running the most recent firmware for my
cards, although the release is quite old:
hca_id: mthca0
fw_ver: 1.2.0
I *believe* that's fairly ancient. You might want to check the
support Mellanox web site and see if there's anything more recent for
your HCA.
