https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/hfi1-driver-version-confusion/m-p/1090015#M5033 <P>I previously installed IntelOPA-IFS.RHEL72-x86_64.10.1.1.0.9 to set up an Omni-Path cluster. I noticed that this version of the Omni-Path software includes hfi1-0.11.3.10.0_327.el7.x86_64-248.src.rpm and after installing, hfi1 version 0.11-162 was present on the system.</P> <P>I recently upgraded to IntelOPA-IFS.RHEL72-x86_64.10.2.0.0.158 and noticed that this version does not include an hfi1 driver. After upgrading, the system loads hfi1 version 0.9-294, which is the version included with the kernel.</P> <P>What is the latest version of the hfi1 driver? From the version numbers I'd guess 0.11-162 is newer than 0.9-294. If that's the case then why does upgrading to the latest Omni-Path software result in reversion to an older driver version? Additionally it looks like a version of the hfi1 driver source code is also present here: <A href="https://github.com/01org/opa-hfi1" target="_blank">https://github.com/01org/opa-hfi1</A>, however the commit comments indicate that the latest version is 0.11-156 but the actual version string in common.h is <SPAN class="pl-s">0.11-162, leading to more confusion.</SPAN></P> <P>Is there a reason not to use driver version 0.11-162 with the latest Omni-Path software? Assumably it would be better to use the latest version.</P> <P>Thanks</P> Thu, 17 Nov 2016 19:51:50 GMT Jason_L_2 2016-11-17T19:51:50Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/hfi1-driver-version-confusion/m-p/1090015#M5033 <P>I previously installed IntelOPA-IFS.RHEL72-x86_64.10.1.1.0.9 to set up an Omni-Path cluster.
