Thanks for confirming I'm not on my own - I've not got any further, other than starting to look at creating a dummy RPM package that fits the criteria Lustre is looking for! That or using a very clunky wrapper script around rpm itself to lie to the configure
script. I actually have got this second approach working so there is nothing wrong with building against the doca packages, but its a bit annoying to automate the build process for our servers like this.</div>

<br>
As it happens, I've been looking at the same thing. I hadn't spotted <br>
LU-18002 (thanks), but unfortunately it isn't enough to accommodate the <br>
move to dkms on rhel.<br>
<br>
I don't know how far you've got since Monday, but there now seems a need <br>
for an explicit check of /usr/src/ofa_kernel (as it's no longer owned by a <br>
package) and the "find" for rdma_cm.h needs the -L flag to make sense of <br>
the new maze of twisty passages.<br>
<br>
I think that a new jira ticket needs to be opened...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

get this to build with NVIDIA DOCA 3.2.1 LTS.<br>

issue, but it looks to only have been fixed in 2.16, which we've sort of ruled out at this stage. Looking at the actual patch<<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2freview.whamcloud.com%2fc%2ffs%2flustre-release%2f%20%2f55625%2f4%2flnet%2fautoconf%2flustre-lnet.m4&c=E,1,Wi5eGkf0dY16u2VrGeX06tAPDP6YCLAJhfgPURLolu4ssfvLF8XiwPpqpixQifO1NdxtNZ5tpz8FAqP5gd419t_Yvuu_c-NzIAY1JvTjYeVLYQ,,&typo=1">https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2freview.whamcloud.com%2fc%2ffs%2flustre-release%2f%20%2f55625%2f4%2flnet%2fautoconf%2flustre-lnet.m4&c=E,1,Wi5eGkf0dY16u2VrGeX06tAPDP6YCLAJhfgPURLolu4ssfvLF8XiwPpqpixQifO1NdxtNZ5tpz8FAqP5gd419t_Yvuu_c-NzIAY1JvTjYeVLYQ,,&typo=1</a>>,
it seems pretty minor and I was wondering if this could be back ported to 2.15 as well.<br>
