mpss-3.8 with mellanox ofed 3.3

[Lisa_G_]

We recently upgraded to rhel6.8 with the latest kernel patch for security reasons.  I am trying to build a new mpss stack for a 380 node cluster with 2 mic's per node.  I grabbed the latest mpss available for rhel 6.8 which is mpss-3.8.  I am trying to build ofed for the mic's but it is tossing up errors.  The mpss documentation says that mpss-3.8 is supported for rhel 6.8 using Mellanox OFED 2.4.  The only problem is that Mellanox does not have a version 2.x ofed for rhel 6.8.  Mellanox 2.x was only good through rhel 6.7.    Rhel 6.8 requires mellanox ofed 3.x.  Has anyone been able to get mpss to work with mellanox 3.x?

Hi Lisa,

I took a look at OFED-3.12-1, OFED-3.18 and OFED-3.18-2, unfortunately all of them don't support RHEL 6.8. 

You have better chance if you upgrade your system to RHEL 7.2, and then install MPSS 3.8.1 and OFED-3.18-2.

Thanks
