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
  2. Download RPM from https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/sdr/repo/mlnx_ofed/RedHatEnterpriseServer/
  3. Unpack RPM with rpm2cpio RPM | cpio -i --make-dirs somewhere
  4. copy all files from opt/mellanox/mxm to the module directory
  5. adapt directories in lib/pkg-config/mxm.pc
  6. add new variant to files/variants
  7. run the build-script to install the modulefile and to set the release

Note: The shared library libmxm.soprovided 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!
