InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25204 [InfiniHost III Lx HCA] vs RHEL8

Latest response

I have successfully used the Infiniband cards in the title for years with RHEL 6 and 7. Now with RHEL 8, they don't seem to be supported. I don't see a deprecation warning in the release notes. Is anyone successfully using these cards in RHEL 8?

I'm following the steps at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/configuring_infiniband_and_rdma_networks/index but when I get to the steps on setting up an interface, it failes.

I also tried mstconfig -d 0e:00.0 q and I get errors:

mstconfig -d 0e:00.0 q
-E- Failed to open the device

This definitely worked yesterday when I had RHEL 7 installed on this exact hardware. What am I missing?
