Hi1822 Offload Cards (for BMSs with SDI 3.0)

Scenario

If the BMS uses SDI 3.0 cards, you need to install the Hi1822 driver on the VM. The following uses CentOS 7.6 as an example.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to the VM.

  • You have obtained the Hi1822 driver installation package and management software and uploaded them to the VM.

    Perform the following operations to obtain the package.

    1. Download the .zip package as instructed in Software.

    2. The following uses uNIC_GuestOS_Driver_BM_2.21.8.B070.tar.gz as an example to describe how to obtain the required installation package.

      Download and decompress the uNIC_GuestOS_Driver_BM_2.21.8.B070.tar.gz driver package, and obtain the .rpm package kmod-hinic-5.0.0.7_3.10.0_957-1.el7.x86_64.rpm based on the OS type and kernel version.

Procedure

  1. Check whether the hinic driver exists.

    rpm -qa | grep hinic

    • If yes, go to 2.

    • If no, go to 3.

  2. Uninstall the hinic driver.

    rpm -e kmod-hinic

    rmmod hinic

  3. Go to the directory where the .rpm installation package is stored and run the following command to install it:

    rpm -ivh kmod-hinic-5.0.0.7_3.10.0_957-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

  4. Run the modprobe hinic command to load the latest Hi1822 driver.
