[ewg] Installation problems of OFED-1.5.2

[Tanin]

Oh, yes. Thanks so much! After uninstall all libibverbs packages, the
OFED-1.5.3-rc5 successfully passed all building process:


Install iscsi-initiator-utils RPM:
Running rpm -iv
/atlas/data18a/litan/OFED-1.5.3-rc5/RPMS/sl-release-5.5-1/x86_64/iscsi-initiator-utils-2.0-869.2.x86_64.rpm

The default IPoIB interface configuration is based on DHCP.
Note that a special patch for DHCP is required for supporting IPoIB.
The patch is available under docs/dhcp
If you do not have DHCP, you must change this configuration in the following
steps.
IPoIB interfaces configured successfully
Press any key to continue ...
Installation finished successfully.
Press any key to continue...

It seems that the IPoIB is not configured due to DHCP issues.

And the OFED tools did not work also:

[litan at tera05 OFED-1.5.3-rc5]$ sudo ibv_devinfo
Failed to get IB devices list: Function not implemented
[litan at tera05 OFED-1.5.3-rc5]$ sudo ibstat
sudo: ibstat: command not found
