Subject: [ofw] Some doubts on WinOF2.0-rc0 package

Hi,

I have some doubts/queries regarding WinOF2.0-rc0 release.
I tried installing it on Win Server 2008 with ConnectX on box and have following questions:--

1) If I select Mellanox InfiniHost package, then installation ends prematurely (It gives error  "mthca not installed" and installation ends)
       Are Mellanox InfiniHost and Mellanox ConnectX packages mutually exclusive?

Yes! Different hardware devices and totally different hardware drivers.

2) I am getting 5 devices being created (as shown in device manager) under following device types (Please see the attached screen shot)
            InfiniBand Channel Adapters and Mellanox ConnectX Adapters
    Only one device in each device type is working fine while others are not functions properly (giving Dev mgr error code 10)
    Why do we get 5 different device creations of each of above device types and why all devices are not working properly.

Server 2008 has some curious install side effects after failed installations.  These side effects are not fully understood at this point in time. If you would kindly cut-paste the last entries in %windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log which reference mlx4 and/or WinOF this would assist in understanding the problems.

3) Similarly InfiniBand I/O Unit Device (created under System devices type in dev manager) is not working properly (Please see the attached screen shot)

What does the device manager view properties for the IB I/O Unit Device have to say about an error code?


Cheers
Deepak
