RHEL7
Run
yum install numactl
cd /root cp /usr/downloads/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.4-1.0.4-rhel7.1-x86_64.iso . mkdir tmp mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.4-1.0.4-rhel7.1-x86_64.iso tmp cd tmp ./mlnxofedinstall
Run command
/sbin/connectx_port_config --show
to display port settings, change it with
/sbin/connectx_port_config
setting all ports to 'eth'.
Configure new 'eth' port as desired (left port seems p6p2 now ...). Use for example text interface to NetworkManager called 'nmtui'. Set 'Manual', IP address with mask (like 129.57.167.41/24) and gateway (like 129.57.167.99) only, ignore the rest. Reboot machine, unplug copper ethernet when starts booting, it should come back using fiber.
RHEL6
Run
yum install numactl
cd /root cp /usr/downloads/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-3.1-1.0.3-rhel6.7-x86_64.iso . mkdir tmp mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-3.1-1.0.3-rhel6.7-x86_64.iso tmp cd tmp ./mlnxofedinstall
Run command (as instructed by installation process):
/etc/init.d/openibd restart
Run command
/sbin/connectx_port_config --show
to display port settings, change it with
/sbin/connectx_port_config
setting all ports to 'eth'.
After it installed, run /usr/bin/system-config-network and add new device eth0 as manual network with appropriate settings (do NOT specify DNS servers !). Shutdown computer, unplug copper cable and start computer, 10G fiber link should become default one. OR, if fiber already plugged in, set BOOT=no for copper port currently in use, set BOOT=yes for fiber port, and reboot.
