[Users] Centos 6.4 support

[Rupert Dance]

Ubuntu has been working with the OFA Interoperability WG and our collaboration has led to RDMA support within their distribution. To my knowledge they have the equivalent of OFED 1.4.1 support right now. OFED 3.5.1 is rpm based and so does not support the Debian package system used by Ubuntu.

 

I have ”cc” my main contact from Ubuntu who may be able to provide more details and the current status.

 

Thanks

 

Rupert

I will give it a go now and come back.

P.S. I am an unfortunate owner of HP blade switch with QLogic mezzanine cards which are so crappy, it's unreal!

I've tried to get them working so many different ways on many linux distros and it seems that they only work on CentOS/RHEL. That's is why I have to stick with CentOS for the time being as I am an Ubuntu guy.

I've just tried Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 with infiniband PPA from Roland Dreier and I just can't get this card to work. I've got Mellanox cards working perfectly well with the same set of tools. Perhaps it's another post which I will make shortly.

By the way, is OFED 3.5.1 compatible with Ubuntu? If so, what version has it been tested with?

Thanks

Andrei

You are aware that that kernel has a trivial local root hole, right?

CentOS-6.4 has a quite recent integrated ib-stack so most people won't have to 
install OFED though...
