What is the relationship between the rdma service and the MLNX driver ?

Infrastructure & Networking Software And Drivers
#1

I installed the latest MLNX_OFED on RHEL8.1, and I want to install the rdma service.

Following installation commands:

  • yum -y groupinstall “InfiniBand Support”

  • yum -y install perftest infiniband-diags

I had some trouble and it turned out to conflict with the MLNX_OFED RPM package.

Hi ,

Please refer to the MLNX_OFED user manual to the “yum install” section
