The issue occurs with any future Mellanox adapter supporting Mellanox RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) driver component. Similarly, all versions of Mellanox RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) driver component RPMs are affected.
This is a known behavior. Insure that the OpenMPI RPMs from the Linux distribution are not installed on the target node prior to the installation of "mlnx-ofa_kernel."If the RPMs are already installed, uninstall any OpenMPI distribution RPMs before installing HPE MellanoxRoCE driver packages using a command similar to the following:# rpm -e openmpi-1.10-1.10.2-2.el6.x86_64RECEIVE PROACTIVE UPDATES: Receive support alerts (such as Customer Advisories), as well as updates on drivers, software, firmware, and customer replaceable components, proactively via e-mail through HPE Subscriber's Choice.
