# The Mellanox MXM communication library
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The Mellanox MXM communication library provides support for the Mellanox MXM interface for InfiniBand.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
For the module we use a RPM distributed by HP.
|
|
|
|
1. Create new directory `/opt/psi/System/mxm/VERSION_merlin`
|
|
1. Download RPM from https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/sdr/repo/mlnx_ofed/RedHatEnterpriseServer/
|
|
1. Unpack RPM with `rpm2cpio RPM | cpio -i --make-dirs` somewhere
|
|
1. copy all files from `opt/mellanox/mxm` to the module directory
|
|
1. adapt directories in `lib/pkg-config/mxm.pc`
|
|
1. add new variant to `files/variants`
|
|
1. run the build-script to install the modulefile and to set the release
|
|
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The shared library `libmxm.so`provided by the RPMs for RHEL 6 cannot be used to compile other software.
|
|
They requiry GLIBC >= 2.14, but on RHEL 6 only 2.12 is installed! |
