Hi guys still on this matter. As today MLNX OFED is becoming a pain to maintain with xCAT since perftest from OS needs libefa.so.1 which is unavailable with MLNX OFED.
If we have an Stateless image, we cannot run updatenode <node> -S to deploy packages since dnf will be in a broken state due to perftest requirements. A solution would be to blacklist perftest from the OS, which is basically the same question in this thread, to solve the issue. So if there’s no way to version lock, is there at least a way to blacklist them?
