32 bit platforms are no longer supported in MLNX_OFED
-
For RPM-based distributions, to install OFED on a different kernel, create a new ISO image using mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh script (see the MLNX_OFED User Manual for instructions)
-
Upgrading MLNX_OFED on a cluster requires upgrading all of its nodes to the newest version as well
-
If using MLNX_OFED 4.9 LTS with MLNX_OFED 5.x with upstream verbs, MLNX_OFED 4.9 must be installed with
--upstream-libsflag so the verbs libraries match. -
A combination of 4.9 LTS default verbs and MOFED 5.x upstream verbs is not supported.
-
All operating systems listed above are fully supported in Paravirtualized and SR-IOV environments with Linux KVM Hypervisor
32 bit platforms are no longer supported in MLNX_EN.
