IB Driver Preparation and Installation
======================================
XCAT provides one sample postscript to help you install the **Mellanox OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution** (OFED) Infiniband Driver. This shell script is ``/opt/xcat/share/xcat/ib/scripts/Mellanox/mlnxofed_ib_install``. You can use this script directly or just refer to it then change it to satisfy your own environment. From xCAT2.11, XCAT offers a new version of mlnxofed_ib_install(i.e. mlnxofed_ib_install.v2). From the perspective of function, the v2 is forward compatible with v1. But the v2 has different usage interface from v1. it becomes more flexible. we still ship v1 with XCAT **but stop support it from xCAT2.11**. We recommend to use mlnxofed_ib_install.v2.

Mellanox Switch Firmware Upgrade
--------------------------------
This section provides manual procedure to help update the firmware for Mellanox Infiniband (IB) Switches. You can down load IB switch firmware like IB6131 (image-PPC_M460EX-SX_3.2.xxx.img) from the Mellanox website `http://www.mellanox.com/page/firmware_table_IBM <http://www.mellanox.com/page/firmware_table_IBM>`_ and place into your XCAT Management Node or server that can communicate to Flex IB6131 switch module. There are two ways to update the MLNX-OS switch package. This process works regardless if updating an internal PureFlex chassis Infiniband switch (IB6131 or for an external Mellanox switch.

Preparation
===========
Obtain the Mellanox OFED ISO file from `Mellanox official site <http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers>`_ and mount it onto suggested target location on the xCAT MN according your OS and ARCH: ::
mkdir -p /install/post/otherpkgs/<osver>/<arch>/ofed
mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-<packver1>-<packver2>-<osver>-<arch>.iso \
/install/post/otherpkgs/<osver>/<arch>/ofed
Take sles11 sp1 for x86_64 as an example ::
mkdir -p /install/post/otherpkgs/sles11.1/x86_64/ofed/
mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-1.5.3-3.0.0-sles11sp1-x86_64.iso \
/install/post/otherpkgs/sles11.1/x86_64/ofed/
Take Ubuntu14.4.1 for Power8 LE as an example ::
mkdir -p /install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu14.04.1/ppc64el/ofed
mount -o loop MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.3-1.0.1-ubuntu14.04-ppc64le.iso \
/install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu14.04.1/ppc64el/ofed
**[NOTE]**
* Mellanox provides OFED files with **tarball** and **ISO** two format, but for xCAT, we just support **ISO** format right now.
Copy Sample script **mlnxofed_ib_install** shipped by xCAT into ``/install/postscripts`` before using, such as ::
cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/ib/scripts/Mellanox/mlnxofed_ib_install \
/install/postscripts/mlnxofed_ib_install
The **mlnxofed_ib_install** invokes a script ``mlnxofedinstall`` shipped by Mellanox OFED ISO. If you want to pass the argument to ``mlnxofedinstall``, you set the argument to the environment variable ``mlnxofed_options`` which could be read by **mlnxofed_ib_install**. For example: PPE requires the 32-bit version of libibverbs, but the default **mlnxofed_ib_install** will remove all the old ib related packages at first including the 32-bit version of libibverbs. In this case, you can set the environment variable ``mlnxofed_options=--force`` when running the **mlnxofed_ib_install**. For diskful, you should put the environment variable ``mlnxofed_options=--force`` in mypostscript.tmpl. myposcript.tmpl is in ``/opt/xcat/share/xcat/templates/mypostscript/`` by default. When customize it, you should copy it into ``/install/postscripts/myposcript.tmpl`` ::
mlnxofed_options='--force'
export mlnxofed_options

Preparation
===========
Obtain the Mellanox OFED ISO file from `Mellanox official site <http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers>`_ and put it into one place under ``/install`` directory depending on your need.
**[NOTE]**
* Mellanox provides OFED drivers in **tarball** and **iso** formats. xCAT only supports the **iso** format at this time.
* Mellanox provides different OFED ISOs depending on operating system and machine architecture, named like MLNX_OFED_LINUX-<packver1>-<packver2>-<osver>-<arch>.iso, you should download correct one according your environment.
Copy **mlnxofed_ib_install.v2** into ``/install/postscripts`` and change name to **mlnxofed_ib_install** ::
cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/ib/scripts/Mellanox/mlnxofed_ib_install.v2 \
/install/postscripts/mlnxofed_ib_install
chmod +x /install/postscripts/mlnxofed_ib_install
Some options of mlnxofed_ib_install should be assigned values when it's used.
These options are:
* **-p**: [required]--the directory where the OFED iso file is located
* **-m**: [optional]--the mlnxofed_ib_install invokes a script ``mlnxofedinstall`` shipped by Mellanox OFED iso. Use this option to pass arguments to the ``mlnxofedinstall``. You must include ``-end-`` at the completion of the options to distinguish the option list. if you don't pass any argument to ``mlnxofedinstall``, defualt value ``--without-32bit --without-fw-update --force`` will be passed to ``mlnxofedinstall`` by xCAT.
* **-i**: [required for diskless]--the image root path
* **-n**: [required for diskless]--nodeset status, the value is 'genimage'.
In general you can use ``mlnxofed_ib_install`` like below ::
mlnxofed_ib_install -p /install/<path>/<MLNX_OFED_LINUX.iso>
If need to pass ``--without-32bit --without-fw-update --add-kernel-support --force`` to ``mlnxofedinstall`` in diskless scenario, refer to below command ::
mlnxofed_ib_install -p /install/<path>/<MLNX_OFED_LINUX.iso> \
-m --without-32bit --without-fw-update --add-kernel-support --force -end- \

IB Network Configuration
========================
XCAT provided two sample postscripts - configiba.1port and configiba.2ports to configure the IB adapter before XCAT 2.8, these tow scripts still work **but will be in maintenance mode**.
xCAT provides a script ``configib`` to help configure the Infiniband adapters on the compute nodes.
A new postscript ``/install/postscripts/configib`` is shipped with XCAT 2.8, the ``configib`` postscript works with the new "nics" table and ``confignic`` postscript which is introduced in XCAT 2.8 also. XCAT recommends you to use new ``configib`` script from now on.
The Infiniband adapter is considered an additional interface for xCAT. The process for configuring Infiniband adapters complies with the process of :doc:`Configure Additional Network Interfaces <../../../../guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/diskful/customize_image/cfg_second_adapter>`.
IB Interface is a kind of additional adapters for XCAT, so the process of configuring Mellanox IB interface complies with the process of :doc:`Configure Additional Network Interfaces <../../../../guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/diskful/customize_image/cfg_second_adapter>`.
