mount /root/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.2-1.4.8.0-rhel7.4alternate-aarch64.iso /mnt
3. Install MLNX_OFED.
If the kernel on the BlueField is 4.11.0-22.el7a.aarch64, run:
cd /mnt
# ./mlnxofedinstall --bluefield
If the kernel is different than 4.11.0-22.el7a.aarch64, run:
cd /mnt
# ./mlnxofedinstall --add-kernel-support --skip-repo

For OFED to support DPDK, use the arguments "--upstream-libs" and "--dpdk".
./mlnxofedinstall --distro rhel7.4alternate --add-kernel-support --upstream-libs
--dpdk
This step might take longer than expected to be completed. If you are using a different pack- age than the required one, run "yum install".

If the date is not set correctly while installing MLNX_OFED, first, set the date (e.g date -s 'Mon Feb 5 15:02:10 EST 2018'), then run the
installation.
4. Restart openibd:
/etc/init.d/openibd restart
