1.8.3.10 Section 3.2.7 Additional OFED patches
There are addition OFED patches provided under the client_enabler/src/common/ofed/
patches/ directory on the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client Software DVD-ROM. Some of these
patches are already applied to the contents of the OFED tarballs provided by HP. The tarball contains a
directory called SFS_patches that contains subdirectories with the patches applied by HP to that version
of OFED.
Each subdirectory under client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/ contains a README.txt
file and a script, apply_patch, to handle applying the patch, as well as the patch or files to include.
• See apply_patch -h for the complete list of options available when using this script. The straight
forward use is to call the script referencing the original OFED tarball you were provided with, a target
for the modified tarball, and each of the relevant directories containing the patches.
Example:
Assume that you are in one of the subdirectories under client_enabler/src/common/ofed/
patches/.
# ./apply_patch /some_dir/src/OFED-1.2.tgz
/some_dir/dst/OFED-1.2.tgz
/client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/dir1
/client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/dir2
Where dir1, dir2, and so on, are directories containing patches listed as being required.
• client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/7905_alias_binding
1
To allow to bind (rdma_bind_addr()) on ib aliases (for example, ib0:0)
• client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/7933_bond_spec
1

• client_enabler/src/common/ofed/patches/7953_disable_ipv6
Disable IPV6 in IPoIB.

These patches are already applied to the HP provided OFED sources included on the HP
StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client Software DVD-ROM.
1. 8 . 3.11 Section 3.3.2 Step 2: Installing the client software
Change to steps 4 & 6
SLES9 SP3 client support has been dropped in favor of SLES10 SP1. The steps to install the RPMS are now
the same as the steps for RHEL clients; however, the location of the built RPMS used in section 3.2.2.4 is
different. When building packages with the build_SFS_client.sh script, the resulting RPMS will now
be placed in /usr/src/packages/RPMS and so to move the packages to the /tmp directory use the
following commands. In this example, the gm-version_number.rpm package is included and is copied:
# cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64
