[openfabrics-ewg] rc3 installation issues.

[Tziporet Koren]

Thanks for the testing - we will fix both the documentation (that as was
explained before was not updated from the base of Mellanox release) and
the problems in the install/uninstall.

 

Regarding uDAPL and RHEL4 (up2 & 3): Since we have not completed the
uCMA backport for kernel 2.6.9 we eliminated uDAPL installation in case
of this kernel. We also indicated this in the package limitation mail.

 

See all release limitations as appeared in the RC3 release mail:

 

   1. iSER is working on SuSE SLES 10 Beta8 only

   2. MPI OSU and Open MPI compilation fails on PPC64

   3. uDAPL does not supported on RH EL4 (up2 and up3) since rdma_ucm
module does 
       not work on 2.6.9* kernels. If someone has a patch we will use
it.

   4. ipath driver compilation fails on RH EL4 and FedoraC4.

Subject: [openfabrics-ewg] rc3 installation issues.

 

I have been trying out the rc3 stack(IA32 RHEL4U3) and have encountered
a few issues.

 

1) udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386 has to be manually uninstalled.
When I tried installing the rc3 package through the menu the existing
packages uninstall fails with the following error
-------
error: Failed dependencies:
        udapl = 1.2-0.4265.2.EL4 is needed by (installed)
udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386
ERROR: Failed executing "/bin/rpm -e libibverbs libibverbs-devel
libibverbs- utils libmthca libmthca-devel libsdp opensm opensm-devel
udapl"
------
Work-around:- After manually uninstalling the
udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386 package the installation succeeds.
The uninstall script needs to be modified in a way that it uninstalls
the udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386? package.

 

2) Installing basic and HPC separately doesn't install MPI components.
When I try to first install(menu driven) the basic components and then
the HPC components the installation completes successfully but MPI rpms
are not installed.

Workaround :- Choose option to install all packages.

3) The README.txt is outdated e.g. vstat and ipoib_ping.pl
The README.txt in the top level of the source directory seems to be
out-dated.e.g.
a) vstat
The readme refers to vstat and the outputs printed by it. I think the
vstat has been replaced by ibstat which has a slightly different
outputs. e.g. vstat prints "1 HCA found:"whereas ibstat prints "CA
'mthca0'"
b) ipoib_ping.pl
This script doesn't seem to be there in rc3 or maybe it has been renamed
to something else which I haven't been able to locate.
c)miscellaneous
There are other instances which need to be weeded out e.g.
/etc/init.d/ibadmd, /etc/ibadm.topo, etc.

 

I have raised bug numbers 45,46,47 for them.

 

thanks

-Amit

Yes, all bugs should be tracked in http://openib.org/bugzilla.
