RoCE Configuration for RHEL
To configure RoCE on the adapter, the Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution
(OFED) must be installed and configured on the RHEL host. To prepare in-box
OFED for RHEL:
1. While installing or upgrading the operating system, select the Infiniband and
OFED support packages.
2. Install the following RPMs from RHEL ISO image:
libibverbs-devel-x.x.x.x86_64.rpm
(required for libqedr library)
perftest-x.x.x.x86_64.rpm
(required for IB bandwidth and latency applications)
or, using Yum, install the in-box OFED:
yum groupinstall "Infiniband Support"
yum install perftest
yum install tcl tcl-devel tk zlib-devel libibverbs
libibverbs-devel
3. Install the new Linux drivers, as described in “Installing the Linux Drivers
with RoCE” on page 16.
During installation, if you already selected the previously mentioned
packages, you need not reinstall them. The in-box OFED and support
packages may vary depending on the operating system version.
