MPSS 3.5.2 MLNX OFED 2.3.2 Infiniband problems Centos 6.6

[Gabriel_D_]

Hi,

I have installed MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.3-2.0.0 with MPSS 3.5.2 and I'm getting the next error in the output of ibv_devinfo:

...and also when I'm accesing to micN, in ifconfig Infiniband Interface does not appear..

...but, from the host it does... ..I did an external bridging and if I do ping to 172.31.0.2...it works, but obviously something is wrong, because the error mentioned above.

So, what is wrong? I've been trying to install MPSS whit Infiniband but it seems not work. I'm running in Centos 6.6 in a cluster.

Hi Gabriel,

I take a look at the MPSS 3.5.2 User Guide, section 3.6.1 states that Mellanox* OFED 2.1, 2.2, 2.3-1.0.1 have been tested. You may try Mellanox* OFED 2.3-1.0.1 instead of 2.3.2.0.0 .

Note that the official Linux OS's that MPSS supports are RHEL and SUSE, not Centos. But you can try and see.

Thank you.
