Hi Stan,
Thanks for that, I hadn't gotten to the release notes, just the
README.. Too much time
in a text console, I don't read things that need a web browser usually. Stupid
habit.
We're doing an unattended install of Server 2008R2 HPC edition from a network
share, so I
can either try to pre-seed that with the OFED drivers, or I can try and install
the MSI via the HPC
admin console. I'll give them a shot. I do need to make sure I get IPoIB as
we're using GPFS for
the filesystem.
vstat fails to run because complib.dll is missing from my computer. That's in a
brand new CMD
prompt.
Matt.
