Installing Host Drivers from an ISO Image
See the Cisco InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter Hardware Installation Guide to correctly install HCAs.
To install host drivers from an ISO image, perform the following steps:
Note If you upgrade your Linux kernel after installing these host drivers, you need to reinstall the host drivers.
Step 1 Verify that the system has a viable HCA installed by ensuring that you can see the InfiniHost entries in
the display.
The following example shows that the installed HCA is viable:
host1# lspci -v | grep Mellanox
06:01.0 PCI bridge: Mellanox Technologies MT23108 PCI Bridge (rev a0) (prog-if 00 [Normal
decode])
07:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT23108 InfiniHost (rev a0)
Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies MT23108 InfiniHost
Step 2 Download an ISO image, and copy it to your network.
You can download an ISO image from http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/sfs-linux
Step 3 Use the md5sum utility to confirm the file integrity of your ISO image.
Step 4 Install drivers from an ISO image on your network.
The following example shows how to install host drivers from an ISO image:
host1# mount -o ro,loop topspin-host-3.2.0-136.iso /mnt
host1# /mnt/tsinstall
