[lustre-discuss] 2.15.x with ConnectX-3 cards

[Andrew Elwell]

Hi Gang,

I've just gone and reimaged a test system in prep for doing an upgrade
to Rocky 8 + 2.15.1 (What's the bets 2.15.2 comes out the night I push
to prod?) However, the 2.15.1-ib release uses mofed 5.6
... which no longer supports CX-3 cards. (yeah, it's olde hardware...)

Having been badly bitten (see posts passim) with using non-OFED
2.10/2.12 on this hardware (it needs to talk ib_srp to a SFA7700X)
what's the advice for going to a 2.15 server? non-OFED or some rebuild
based on 4.9?

Many thanks

Andrew
