Installing UFM on Bare Metal Server- Standalone Mode

To install the UFM server software as a standalone for InfiniBand:

1. Create a temporary directory (for example /tmp/ufm).

2. Open the UFM software zip file that you downloaded. The zip file contains the following installation files:

   • RedHat 7/CentOS 7/OEL 7: ufm-X.X-XXX.el7.x86_64.tgz

   • RedHat 8/Centos 8: ufm-X.X-XXX.el8.x86_64.tgz

   • Ubuntu 18.04: ufm-X.X-XXX.Ubuntu18.x86_64.tgz

   • Ubuntu 20.04: ufm-X.X-XXX.Ubuntu20.x86_64.tgz

   • Ubuntu 22.04: ufm-X.X-XXX.Ubuntu22.x86_64.tgz

3. Extract the installation file for your system's OS to the temporary directory that you created.

4. From within the temporary directory, run the following command as root:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   ./install.sh
           

   Warning

   Running with the option "-o ib" is no longer required. For automatic installation, use the -q flag.

   For “quiet” installation -q flag can be added (automatically answer yes for each question the installer asks).

   Warning

   Export MULTISUBNET_CONSUMER=1 environment variable before running the installation script to install the UFM server in Multisubnet Consumer mode.

The UFM software is installed. You can now remove the temporary directory.
