Installation Logging
While installing MLNX_OFED, the install log for each selected package will be saved in a
separate log file.
Meaning
• 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.
