Hello Grigory, I am not sure what Redhat does exactly but when you install the OS, there is always an InfiniBand Support module during the installation process. We never check/install that module when we do OS installations because it is usually several versions of OFED behind (almost obsolete).

It simplifies cluster maintenance (kernel updates etc.). I am curious on how Redhat stack is ³not based on any direct OFED version²? Doesn¹t Redhat just ship an old OFED build, or they do their own changes to it like to the kernel? -- Grigory Shamov Westgrid/ComputeCanada Site Lead University of Manitoba E2-588 EITC Building, (204) 474-9625 _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org Subscription: https://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users Link to this post: http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2016/06/29436.php
