Before Onload network and kernel drivers can be built and installed the system must support a build environment capable of compiling kernel modules. Refer to Build Dependencies for more details.
- Download the onload-<version>.tgz file from the NIC Software and Drivers web page.
- Unpack the tar file using the tar command:
# tar -zxvf onload-<version>.tgz
- Run the
onload_install
command from the onload-<version>/scripts subdirectory:# ./onload-<version>/scripts/onload_install
Refer to Driver Loading - NUMA Node to ensure that drivers are affinitized to a core on the correct NUMA node.
