MPSS 3.5.1 and Scientific Linux 7.1

[Dmitry_Y_]

Hello,

I have MPSS 3.5.1 and I would like to install it on Scientific Linux 7.1.

Scientific Linux 7.1 - is based on RHE 7.1 and has the same kernel: Linux ys03 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 9 16:14:50 CDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Unfortunatelly  I didn't find any ofed modules in main package for this kernel:

From source package I can't build (many errors like this):

Where I can find ofed-driver modules for kernel 3.10?

Hi Dmitry,

I just take a quick look on MPSS 3.5 in my system. It seems that MPSS 3.5 is missing ofed package for RHEL 7.0 , 7.1 and SUSE 12 . I will get back to you for a confirmation.

Thank you.

Hi Dmitry,

Both MPSS 3.5 and MPSS 3.5.1 are missing OFED packages for RHEL* 7.0, 7.1 and SUSE* 12 . Sorry about that, I already reported this issue (ID # 5162680).

In the meanwhile, if you use Scientific Linux 7.0, please consider MPSS 3.4.4. Thank you.

How it is help me?

MPSS 3.4.4 doesn't have neccessary ofed drivers for me. :(

Hi,

I receive some feedbacks from developer:

Refer to the document MPSS User’s Guide to see which OFED distro supports which OSs. The OFED-1.5.4.1 based kernel modules (these are the ones under the ofed/modules folder) only support <= RHEL6.6 and sles <= 11.3.

For newer OS support try: OFED-3.12-1 (OFED-3.18 is coming soon).
