Replying to my own email since I've made progress and now have a new question.
OFED 1.4.1 compiles and installs find under the XenServer 5.5 DDK. My question now is how do I transfer these drivers to a live server? Are there details anywhere about what files need transferring, and how they should be loaded? Alternatively, do I need to attempt to transfer the relevant kernel source files from the XenServer DDK to a live server? thanks, Ross On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Ross Smith<[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
