Release 6.1 Features
 QLogic OFED+ Host software version 6.1 has been tested with, and fully
supports, OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.3, including the
QLogic patch sent to OFED for their 1.5.3.1 patch release.
Important note: As a result of a software fix from QLogic that was needed to
correct a problem introduced by Mellanox, the full OFED release number is
1.5.3.1. The 1.5.3.1 package is a complete release of OFED 1.5.3 plus the
minor software fix.
 The OFED mlx4 Driver is now a separately selectable component identified
by ofed_mlx4. It can also be separately selected to autostart. QLogic
recommends when installing QLogic Host Channel Adapters in systems with
Mellanox 10GE NIC LOM, not to install the OFED mlx4 Driver component so
that the proper 10GE mlx4_core driver will be used. The “iba” component
will continue to include the mlx4 driver; however the “ib_stack” component
no longer includes mlx4.
 The patch for support of the NVIDIA 3.x releases is now included in the tar
file. To install on systems with NVIDIA GPUs, see the README-first.txt
file in the QLogicIB-*/NVIDIA directory.
