Hello
The HP blade server use mellanox 10gb/ib network card.
I can use this card boot from PXE and install the os.
But the system did not load mlx4_en module when boot up.
So the automatic install and configrue tools could not continue after
the os installation.
It was ok in sl5X, but failed in sl6.
I think this is a known issue - look through Red Hat bugzilla perhaps? I
have a note about this dated Aug 2013, but don't have a reference
for you.
One solution is to try a script like this:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/modules/mlx4_en.modules
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe mlx4_en
We have found the Red Hat mellanox driver to be problematic, and
instead we do a kmod-style driver using driver code
from the mellanox web site.
cheers, etc.
