For any HPE platforms running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.9/9.3 and configured with the network adapters listed in the Scope section below, mana_ib module warning messages may be displayed when manually installing HPE Mellanox RoCE driver 23.10-1.1.9.1. This driver version has been included in Service Pack for ProLiant version 2024.04.00.00.When installing the above driver via Smart Update Manager (SUM), mana_ib module warning messages will not be displayed to the user.The mana_ib module is a third-party kernel module designed for Microsoft Azure Network Adapters. The mana_ib module in-distro driver (also known as an inbox driver) has a dependency on the in-distro versions of ib_core and ib_uverbs kernel modules.Upon updating the Mellanox RoCE driver to version 23.10-1.1.9.1, the ib_core and ib_uverbs kernel modules will be updated to a newer version. Consequently, the mana_ib modules which are dependent on these modules will experience a stack incompatibility, resulting in the warning messages illustrated below.When this issue occurs, events similar to the following will be displayed:Warning: #rpm -Uvh kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10-OFED.23.10.0.5.5.1.rhel8u9.x86_64.rpm mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10-OFED.23.10.0.5.5.1.rhel8u9.x86_64.rpmWarning: kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10-OFED.23.10.0.5.5.1.rhel8u9.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID e6d6a281: NOKEYVerifying... ################################# [100%]Preparing... ################################# [100%]Updating/ installing...1:mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10-OFED.23.10.################################# [50%]2:kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel-23.10-OFED.2#################################[100%]depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_create_wq_objdepmod: WARNING:/lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_cfg_vportdepmod: WARNING:/lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_gd_destroy_dma_regiondepmod: WARNING:/lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_uncfg_vportdepmod: WARNING:/lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_destroy_wq_objdepmod: WARNING:/lib/modules/4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/mana_ib.ko.xz needs unknown symbol mana_gd_send_request
