Installing RDMA, InfiniBand or Ethernet drivers and utilities

Install the following RPMs to get access to the required RDMA, InfiniBand or Ethernet drivers and utilities. Note that the rpm version of the RPMs may differ for each of the supported Linux flavors.

Veritas does not support any external Mellanox OFED packages. The supported packages are listed in this section.

Veritas recommends that you use the Yellowdog Updater Modified (yum) package management utility to install RPMs on RHEL systems and use Zypper, a command line package manager, on SUSE systems.

Note:

Install the OpenSM package only if you configure an InfiniBand network. All other packages are required with both InfiniBand and Ethernet networks.

Table: lists the drivers and utilities required for RDMA, InfiniBand or Ethernet network.
