Description

Hi,

I have a RH6.8 server (with kernel 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.x86_64) and Mellanox OFED 3.3.1.0.0.0 (the only one supported for RH6.8 as od today).
When I try to build the lustre client I get the following:

[root@varuna1 ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'configure_args --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa_kernel/default --disable-server --enable-client' --without servers lustre-client-2.8.0-2.6.32_573.12.1.el6.x86_64.src.rpm
...
checking if Linux kernel has tunable backoff TCP support... no
checking whether to use Compat RDMA... yes
checking whether to use any OFED backport headers... no
checking whether to enable OpenIB gen2 support... no
configure: error: can't compile with OpenIB gen2 headers under /usr/src/ofa_kernel/default
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.jpa8cA (%build)

Do you have any hint for this issue?
Thanks in advance,

Giuseppe

That would be a question to direct through your support channels.

Hi,

do you have any plan to back port the fix to version 2.5?

Best regards,

Giuseppe
