[Users] ofed -- inclusion in distributions, Redhat, Centos

[Kevin Abbey]

Hi Rupert and others on the list,

We have new EDR adapters/switches, ConnectX-4.  I don't see them listed in the release notes.  Is this correct?

In Fedora 26, the related rpm, libmlx5 release include ConnectX-4 in the package info.  How is that possible if the source is OFED?  Is Fedora using the devel/master source rather than the released OFED versions?

I'm not following what I have observed.

Any notes on this would be useful.

Thank you,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

The OFED_release_notes.txt in each GA version of OFED provide the information you request about the supported hardware and OS.

Here is the path for OFED 4.8 GA: OFED-4.8.tgz\OFED-4.8.tar\OFED-4.8\docs\

The release notes are also available on the OFA site: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.openfabrics.org%2Fdownloads%2FOFED%2Frelease_notes%2F&data=02%7C01%7Ckevina%40oarc.rutgers.edu%7Cc1b697d4509e4dff3b8f08d4e495bdb4%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636384779175772332&sdata=%2BsGnQD3cB84f4z10Gr5Q3t47u1%2B0FE6nNGAE8goCudc%3D&reserved=0

Hi,

I'm looking for the hardware/software/kernel/fw version compatibility matrix/notes regarding the use of OFED in Redhat and Centos as well as other distros.  I need to see what hardware is supported in a specific
OFED version, thus what is supported by the RH, Centos, etc versions.
I'd also like to be sure that the hardware fw meets the required level by the OFED version.  Mellanox provides this information on their website and I was under the impression that similar information would be provided with openfabrics, RH and Centos.

Is any of the above information described somewhere or do we use the Mellanox site for reference?

Thanks,
Kevin
