Installing device drivers and verification
The following provides brief device driver installation instructions. For more on
device driver installation instructions, refer to the following operating systemspecific documentation:
www.mellanox.com => Products => Software/Drivers => InfiniBand and VPI SW/
Drivers => Linux SW/Drivers => MLNX_OFED
AIX Version 7.1 with the 7100-01 Technology Level Service Pack 3
• AIX device driver software - this adapter device driver is included in the following
AIX releases or later levels. Refer to the installation instructions for the specific AIX
release to install or update driver software.

Drivers => Windows SW/Drivers => MLNX_WinOF VPI
www.mellanox.com => Products => Software/Drivers => InfiniBand and VPI SW/
Drivers => VMware Drivers
Linux drivers
For Linux, download and install the latest OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution
(OFED) software package available via the Mellanox web site at:
http://www.mel-
lanox.com => Products => Software/Drivers => InfiniBand & VPI Software/Drivers
=> Mellanox OFED => Download. Follow the installation instructions included in
the download package (also available from the download page). To ensure that
communication has been established follow the instructions below.
Get the device location
Get the device location on the PCI bus by running lspci and locating lines with the
string “Mellanox Technologies”:
> lspci |grep -i Mellanox
07:00.0 Network controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
Check the OFED version
To get the version of the running Mellanox OFED/BXOFED, run the following
command:
> # ofed_info |head -1
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-1.5.3-2.1.0 (OFED-1.5.3-2.1.0)
Load the Ethernet Driver
By default, the Mellanox OFED stack loads mlx4_en. Run ‘lsmod’ to verify that
the module is listed.
8
IBM Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide
> Host# lsmod |grep mlx4_en
mlx4_en 96382 0
mlx4_core 1184104 2 mlx4_en
If you don’t see the mlx4_en driver, run: ’ modprobe mlx4_en’
Another option is to use the command below to see which modules are active.
Example:
Edit ”/etc/infiniband/openib.conf” which modules needs to load
from a service.
Load MLX4_EN module
MLX4_EN_LOAD=yes
