Hi there,

I want to configure NFSoRDMA between two computes A and B, since MLNX\_OFED don’t support NFSoRDMA on CentOS, I want to know if there is a way to use it, configuring the service by myself.

Another question is if I need to install MLNX\_OFED in both computes, A and B to be able to user NFSoRDMA.

Hi Samuel,

Mellanox OFED does not support NFSoRDMA in CentOS 8.2.

You can find the list of supported OS versions in MLNX\_OFED release notes: [https://docs.mellanox.com/display/OFEDv512580/General+Support+in+MLNX\_OFED#GeneralSupportinMLNX\_OFED-nfsordmaNFSoverRDMA(NFSoRDMA)SupportedOperatingSystems](https://docs.mellanox.com/display/OFEDv512580/General+Support+in+MLNX_OFED#GeneralSupportinMLNX_OFED-nfsordmaNFSoverRDMA(NFSoRDMA)SupportedOperatingSystems)

In case of running CentOS Inbox drivers, support for NFSoRDMA should be obtained through the Linux Distro, as stated on our website: [Upstream Releases/Inbox Drivers](https://www.mellanox.com/page/inbox_drivers)

Regards,

Chen
