How may I install/compile the last Mellanox OFED drivers?

[ekha...@gmail.com]

Hi

Is it possible to install the last Mellanox OFED to the ESOS, like OSNexus propose the special installation script (step 6 in the manual: https://wiki.osnexus.com/index.php?title=Bare-metal_Install#Step_6_.28Optional.29:_Install_The_Mellanox_OFED_for_RDMA.2FNVMEoF_and_best_Mellanox_Performance)

Thanks for any help

Build ESOS from source using the "--with-mlnx_ofed=PATH" argument to
the 'configure' script. You'll find the needed "mlnx-ofa_kernel"
tarball in the big MOFED package (you have to extract it and maybe a
child artifact to reach this tarball). I build and use the
"mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10.tgz" file with the latest commit from ESOS
4.x.x and master regularly and it builds/runs fine. I would recommend
sticking to the "23.10" MOFED version otherwise you may run into build
issues.
