<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to install OFED 3.5-2 along with iSER initiator on a machine which has Scientific Linux 6.4 running kernel 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64. This machine has 2 ConnectX -3 cards and a Qlogic Infiniband card. The objective is to use iSER on one of those two ConnectX cards.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Though I can smoothly install OFED 3.5-2, it didn't install iSER. Looking closely in the install script, I noticed that iSER is available for installation only if the kernel version is > 3.5</div>
<div><br></div><div>I manually "flagged" iSER to be available for the kernel I am using in the install script, only to have issue with the installation of compat-rdma.</div><div><br></div><div><div>/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILD/compat-rdma-3.5/drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iser_initiator.c:273: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type</div>

</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't want to upgrade my machine as I would have to reinstall all the other software for this machine. And also because OFED 3.5-2 clearly states that minimal QA testing had been done for kernel 3.5.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also I don't want to use MNLX OFED, as it would make my qlogic infiniband cards inaccessible. </div><div><br></div><div>What should I do to solve this issue I have?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
