Important Notes¶

1. This release ships with support for kernel 4.9.0-4. If the installed system has a different 4.9.0.x kernel, then kmod-ifs-kernel-updates will need to be built against that kernel. README section Kernel Support provides documentation for this process.
2. If support for a non-4.9.0.x is required, please contact fabricsupport@intel.com.
3. IntelOPA now includes Sandia-OpenSHMEM (SOS) and libfabric.
4. Debian 9's default configuration sets ASLR to 1, which requires omission of remote virtual addressing in SOS. If remote virtual addressing is desired, ASLR must be configured to 0 and the sandia-openshmem package will need to be rebuilt with remote virtual addressing enabled.

For support, please contact fabricsupport@intel.com.

Notes¶

1. opasystemconfig requires chkconfig to be installed. Please execute "apt-get install chkconfig" before installing the fabric software.

Resolved Issues¶

• INSTALL needs to create /etc/udev/rules.d/05-opa.rules
• /etc/modules-load.d/rdma.conf should be managed by opa-scripts package
• opa-scripts removes ARPTABLE_TUNING from /etc/rdma/rdma.conf after uninstallation, doesn't add it during install
• Segmentation fault when using mvapich2 (verbs) with mixed Debian and RHEL/CentOS nodes
• INSTALL needs to put MPI source packages in /usr/src/opa/MPI
• Port opaconfig to Debian
• Port opacapture and fm_capture to Debian
