[ofw] RE: Windows Server 2008 (x64) mthca install via DPINST.EXE

Wed Dec 12 04:36:40 PST 2007

 Hi,

I also tried to install WinIB on Windows Server 2008.
I tried to install it through the Device Manager (using the inf file).

Some problems that I encounter in the CoInstaller:
	1. IbCoInstaller uses the path from InstallParam.FileQueue to
look for the bus driver. InstallParam.FileQueue is NULL, and therefore
IbCoInstaller exits.
	2. I changed IbCoInstaller to use the path from
InstallParam.DriverPath but this variable is also NULL, thus the search
path is "\"
	3. Please note that in Windows Server 2003 both
InstallParam.FileQueue and InstallParam.DriverPath contains the correct
path to the driver.
	    Is the API changed in Windows Server 2008?
	4. When I tried to debug it, I got this strange behavior: The
output of IbCoInstaller (using OutputDebugString()) isn't shown in
DbgView at the first time.
	    Only at the second execution the messages shown (and it's
too late).
	5. In order to be able to do a "real" install in the second
execution (And avoid exiting immediately) I changed the first condition
of IbCoInstaller to handle also
DIF_SELECTBESTCOMPATDRV. (so it will do the work although the files
already exists in DriverStore).
	6. When I tried to reinstall the device it succeeded (now in
DbgView I can see the output of IbCoInstaller and see that
InstallParam.DriverPath
	    is set correctly to my directory ?!).

Please note that although we can have solution for manual installation
(do a second install or separate install of the bus driver and the mthca
driver) this is not good enough, because installing it using PnP will
fail.

Does someone have an idea how I can continue?

Thanks, Reuven

Hi Stan,

I ran into the same issue with DPInst with the IB driver package.

See the following page for how to decode DPInst return values:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791066.aspx

The error code 80010100 means there was an error (0x80000000), that one
driver was installed to the driver store (the 0x00000100), and one
driver failed (0x00010000).  If you run DPInst a second time, I suspect
you'll see thing work.

What happens is the when the HCA driver's co-installer tries to install
the IB Fabric device (the bus driver), it can't find the drivers (not in
the driver store, and an assumption in the co-installer doesn't hold on
Windows Server 2008.)  However, that first try stages the bus driver's
files in the driver store (the 0x00000100 of the return code).  The
second time you run DPInst, when the co-installer tries to create the IB
Fabric device, it does find the bus driver in the driver store and
succeeds, which in turn allows the HCA driver installation to succeed.

IPoIB will install more cleanly once the HCA driver installs.

Hello,
  I've started probing what's involved in a LH WinOF install. In past
email, which I unfortunately misplaced, you had mentioned success using
DPInst.exe to install mthca. My experiments have shown less than
complete results.

 DPInst.exe (version 2.1.0.0 10/8/2007)

>From a folder which contains DPInst.exe mthca.{inf,cdf,sys}
ibinstaller.dll + ib_bus.{inf,cdf,sys}

dpinst /C

Summary - ib_bus.inf appears to install, while mthca.inf fails due to a
missing file?
How did you get the mthca install to work?

What did your DPInst command line look like?

Thanks,

Stan.
