Load the Onload Drivers

Following installation you must load the Onload drivers:

1. Load the network and Onload kernel drivers:
   • If you are using the sfc network driver (for 8000 series or X2 series adapters), just use the onload_tool command:

     # onload_tool reload

     This replaces any previously loaded sfc network driver with the sfc driver from the Onload distribution.

   • Otherwise you must reload the network driver yourself, and also the auxiliary driver. For example if you are using the xilinx_efct driver with an X3 series adapter:

     # modprobe -r xilinx_efct
     # modprobe -r auxiliary
     # modprobe auxiliary
     # modprobe xilinx_efct
     # onload_tool reload --onload-only

2. Confirm success:

   # onload
   OpenOnload <version>
