Hi guys, I'm very new to Linux, and trying to install OFED in XenServer, is anybody able to help out?
XenServer is based on CentOS 5.2, and I'm informed that it should be possible to install this version of OFED, but I'm struggling to get the installation to compile. I believe the proper way to compile the drivers is to use the Citrix Driver Development Kit, which includes all the source for XenServer. However that's supplied as a 2GB virtual machine, and runs out of disk space if I try to install the OFED prerequisits. So instead I'm trying to compile it directly on Dom0 of a XenServer. The prerequisits have installed fine, but the install.pl script fails with: "/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.xs5.0.0.426.647xen/build/scripts is required to build kernel-ib RPM. Please install the corresponding kernel-source or kernel-devel RPM." On the DDK, I can see that those folders all exist, but I can't find how to install those on a live server. I've found kernel-2.6.18.92.1.10.el5.xs5.0.0.426.647.src.rpm on the DDK source disk, but installing that does not help. If I were to simply copy the files from the DDK to the live server, could somebody advise me on what I would need to copy. Do I need anything outside of the /lib/modules/... directory? thanks, Ross _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
