Install Host Drivers (Manually)

If you are not using an automated update manager, you can install the host drivers manually.

• Install the user space application.

  For example:

  rpm -ivh orclovn-user-6.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

  ---

  Note -  If you are installing or configuring host drivers for any other kernel, you have to override the kernel version by using the following command:

  /opt/xsigo/bin/orclovn-setup --kversion <Kernel-version> --ofed-version <ofed Version> --install

  By default, the first UEK kernel in your current grub.conf file is chosen.

  Examples for Oracle Linux 6:

  • For kernel 2.6.39-400.209.1.el6uek and OFED version 1.5.5.151, use:

    opt/xsigo/bin/orclovn-setup --kversion 2.6.39-400.209.1.el6uek --ofed-version 1.5.5.151 –-install

  • For kernel 2.6.39-400.209.1.el5uek and native OFED drivers, use:

    opt/xsigo/bin/orclovn-setup –-kversion 2.6.39-400.209.1.el6uek --ofed-version native –-install

  For Oracle Linux 5 or Oracle VM, the examples and syntax are the same except for the kernel version string.
