Installation Logging
While installing MLNX_OFED, the install log for each selected package will be saved in a separate log file.
The path to the directory containing the log files will be displayed after running the installation script in the following format:
Example:
• Most of MLNX_OFED packages are installed under the "/usr" directory except for the following packages which are installed
under the "/opt" directory:
• fca and ibutils
• iproute2 (rdma tool) - installed under /opt/Mellanox/iproute2/sbin/rdma
• The kernel modules are installed under
• /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates on SLES and Fedora Distributions
• /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel on RHEL and other RedHat like Distributions
• /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/ on Ubuntu
• The firmware of existing network adapter devices will be updated if the following two conditions are fulfilled:
• The installation script is run in default mode; that is, without the option '--without- fw-update'
• The firmware version of the adapter device is older than the firmware version included with the OFED ISO image
Note: If an adapter's Flash was originally programmed with an Expansion ROM image, the automatic firmware update
will also burn an Expansion ROM image.
• In case your machine has an unsupported network adapter device, no firmware update will occur and the error message below
will be printed.
"The firmware for this device is not distributed inside NVIDIA driver: 0000:01:00.0 (PSID: IBM2150110033)
