We ran:

./mlnxofedinstall --upstream-libs --all --without-fw-update --enable-opensm --enable-mlnx_tune

/etc/init.d/openibd restart

and after that:

systemctl start rdma

→ Failed to start rdma.service: Unit rdma.service not found.

we did:

locate rdma.service

but nothing appears. We check if rdma and rdma-core were installed and they are.

Our OS is Centos 8.2 with kernel 4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64

Hi ,

Which adapter are you using ?

Are you using the latest OFED 4.9-2.2.4.0 ?

Thanks,

Hi Samuel,

The adapter is HPE OEM adapter, i suggest to open a support ticket with HPE Support to get the latest working driver/firmware bundle that works with HPE ConnectX-3

Thanks,

Hi Samuel,

Regarding the error you get : when MLNX_OFED is installed rdma service is not used, you should use openibd service only

/etc/init.d/openibd restart

/etc/init.d/openibd status

the command systemctl start rdma is not applicable when MLNX_OFED is installed only for inbox driver.

Thanks,

Samer

Hi, Samer, and thanks for your response.

Then, can I assume that openibd is as same as rdma service?
