Unable to Install hdf5, hdf5-devel and hdf5-static on Rocky Linux 8.7

If you are doing a dnf install on hdf5 packages, you will notice errors like the one below

nothing provides libsz.so.2()(64bit) needed by hdf5-1.10.5-4.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

To resolve the issue, you will need to install and enable PowerTools

Step 1: Install DNF plugins package

dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Step 2: Install EPEL

The reason is that some software from its source code requires some dependencies that are available in EPEL

dnf install epel-release

Step 3: Enable PowerTools repository on Rocky Linux 8

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Step 4: Now try installing HDF5

dnf install hdf5 hdf5-devel hdf5-static

Using Ethtool to query Network and Driver Information

Ethtool is a utility for configuration of Network Interface Cards (NICs). This utility allows querying and changing settings such as speed, port, auto-negotiation, PCI locations and checksum offload on many network devices, especially Ethernet devices.

1. Query the specified network device for associated driver information

# ethtool -i ens3f1np1
driver: mlx5_core
version: 5.7-1.0.2
firmware-version: 16.34.1002 (MT_0000000416)
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:0f:00.1
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: yes

2. Enable an operator to easily identify the adapter by sight.
This involves blinking one or more LEDs on the specified network port.

# ethtool -p ens3f1np1 5

where integer 5 represents the time in seconds to perform the action,

3. Turn off the AutoNegotiation and fixed it at 25GB

ethtool -s ens3f1np1 --speed 25000 --autoneg off --duplex full

No matching repo to modify: PowerTools when using dnf install on Rocky Linux 8.5

I was trying to install hdf5 after enabling EPEL. Installing EPEL

% dnf install -y epel-release
% dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
Error: No matching repo to modify: PowerTools.

I’ve noticed this documentation from CentOS-8 Repoid, there are name changes from Yum_repo_file_and_repoid_changes from 8.3 onwards. The documents can be found at https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.2011#Yum_repo_file_and_repoid_changes

Error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory on Rocky-Linux 8.5

If you encounter an error similar to this

% /usr/local/ansys_inc/v221/fluent/fluent22.1.0/launcher/bin/../lnamd64/launcher1: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

You have to install the libnsl library as libnsl.so.1 is not installed in Red Hat Linux release 8 be default. 

% dnf install libnsl

Installing Environment Modules on Rocky Linux 8.5

Step 1: Download the modules packages

You can download the latest version of Modules Environment from http://modules.sourceforge.net/. The current version is 5.1

% dnf install tcl tcl-devel
% tar -zxvf modules-5.1.0.tar.gz
% cd modules-5.1.0
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Modules \
--modulefilesdir=/usr/local/Modules/modulefiles
$ make && make install

By default, /usr/local/Modules/modulefiles will be setup as the default directory containing modulefiles. –modulefilesdir option enables to change this directory location.

Step 2: Configuration

# ln -s /usr/local/Modules/init/profile.sh /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
# ln -s /usr/local/Modules/init/profile.csh /etc/profile.d/modules.csh

Step 3: Source the Configuration

# source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh

Step 4: Start Adding Modules. Sample. A Sample File may look something like this. This is a Gcc-6.50 

#%Module1.0
proc ModulesHelp { } {

global version prefix

        puts stderr "\tmodules - loads the gcc-6.5.0"
        puts stderr "\n\tThis adds $prefix/* to several of the"
        puts stderr "\tenvironment variables."
        puts stderr "\n\tVersion $version\n"
}

if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/m4-1.4.18" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/m4-1.4.18"
        }
}

if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/gmp-6.1.0" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/gmp-6.1.0"
        }
}


if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/mpfr-3.1.4" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/mpfr-3.1.4"
        }
}


if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/mpc-1.0.3" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/mpc-1.0.3"
        }
}


if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/gsl-2.1" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/gsl-2.1"
        }
}


if { [ module-info mode load ] } {
        if { [ is-loaded "gnu/isl-0.18" ] } { } else {
                module load "gnu/isl-0.18"
        }
}

Installing Nvidia Drivers on Rocky Linux 8.5

If you are planning to install Nvidia Drivers on Rocky Linux 8.5, you may want to use DNF to install. For a detailed explanation Streamlining NVIDIA Driver Deployment on RHEL 8 with Modularity Streams

Step 1: Add Offical Nvidia Repository to Package Managers repository list. 

# dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/cuda-rhel8.repo

Step 2: Install Kernel-Devel and Headers used by the Drivers

# dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Step 3: Installing Nvidia Drivers and Settings

# dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings

Step 4: Install CUDA Drivers and REboot

# dnf install cuda-driver

Once done, do a reboot,

# reboot

If after a reboot and if you do a “nvidia-smi” and receive an error like the one

# nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

You may want to take a look at https://gist.github.com/espoirMur/65cec3d67e0a96e270860c9c276ab9fa. It could be coming Secure Boot Option in your BIOS.

Installing MLNX_OFED 5.5-1 on Rocky Linux 8.5

If you are installing MLNX-OFED-5.5-1 on Rocky Linux 8.5, you may want to download the drivers from Nvidia Linux Drivers

Step 1: Installing Prerequistics

# dnf install tk tcsh tcl gcc-gfortran kernel-modules-extra

Step 2a: Installing MLNX on Rocky 8.5

If you just do a ./mlnxofedinstall 

# ./mlnxofedinstall
Current operation system is not supported!

Step 2b: Force Install with the right distro.

# ./mlnxofedinstall --distro rhel8.5 --force
