Hi,

I am installing BeeGFS-7.2.7 through "yum install" on CentOS7. The kernel version is 3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64.

All the components beegfs-mgmtd, beegfs-meta, beegfs-storage, beegfs-helpered and beegfs-client are deployed on same node.

beegfs-mgmtd, beegfs-meta, beegfs-storage and beegfs-helpered are running successfully. But it reports error when executing "systemctl start beegfs-client", Here is the error information, the detail error information is in attached file:

beegfs-client[57742]: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'beegfs': Invalid parameter

Here are the BeeGFS module dependencies:

$ sudo modprobe beegfs -D

insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel/compat/mlx_compat.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_cm.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/iw_cm.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/rdma_cm.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/updates/fs/beegfs_autobuild/beegfs.ko

How to solve this problem?

Check that you have rebooted after an infiniband driver update, and rebuilt beegfs.ko after the reboot.

BTW, Running on the mainline IB driver (with e.g. kernel-lt from elrepo) should reduce the possibility of problems vs. using OFED.
