We have a new install of CentOS 6.7 with infiniband support installed.
We can see the card in hardware and we can see the mlx4 drivers loaded
in the kernel but cannot see the card as an ethernet interface, using
ifconfig -a. Can you recommend an install procedure to see this as an
ethernet interface?
Thanks

Hi All,
We looking for suggestions on dealing with mellanox drivers in CentOS 6.7
We tried installing mellanox drivers
(MLNX_OFED_LINUX-3.2-2.0.0.0-rhel6.7-x86_64) on a Quanta Cirrascale
server running Centos 6.7 - 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64. When we
rebooted the machine after installing the drivers, it went into a kernel
panic for every installed kernel except for Centos 6.7
2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64.debug. After we uninstalled the drivers, the
machine failed to boot for any installed kernel.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well, we (CentOS) are using a gluster setup on top of Infiniband, but
we're just using the default mlx4_ib kernel module that is included with
the kernel shipped with 6.7
(/lib/modules/2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/mlx4_ib.ko)
so nothing to be done at the kernel/initrd level.
Is there a reason why you needed a different version ?
PS : the IB HBA model we have in those servers is the following one :
81:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0
2.5GT/s - IB DDR / 10GigE] (rev a0)
