Mellanox driver init in Azure

I have installed OFED "mlnx-en-5.2-1.0.4.0-rhel8.3-x86_64.iso in Cent OS (8.3 kernel version) successfully with no errors

However my third-part software throws error while trying to Mellanox driver as

EAL: /lib64/libmlx5.so.1: version `MLX5_1.15' not found (required by so/x86_64/libmlx5-64.so)
EAL: FATAL: Cannot init plugins
EAL: Cannot init plugins

Any further installation required. I tried below

./install --add-kernel-support

I have ConnectX-4 NIC

@VJ-0174, I don't have much expertise with Mellanox drivers but did some research on this issue and here are my findings,

  1. Here is the list of MLNX_OFED versions intended for Microsoft Azure Linux servers. Not sure if this page needs an update or listed versions are only supported for now. I see there is no support for 5.X here,

2.If that is not the case and if NIC's are generalized across all cloud machines, then your ConnectX-4 NIC should support this version according to this release notes.

I would recommend you check with the Mellanox support team on this issue for driver to version compatibility.
