The following procedure describes how to install the multipath driver package on an OpenSUSE system:
Compare the package version and the kernel version to ensure they are an exact match. If they are not an exact match, do not install the package. Instead, build the driver from source according to the instructions in the “Building and Installing the Driver’ section later in this document.
# zypper in ./dist/dellnfs-4.0.22-kernel_5.14.21_150400.24.97_default.x86_64.rpm

# dellnfs-ctl status
version: 4.0.22
kernel modules: sunrpc
services: rpcbind.socket rpcbind
rpc_pipefs: /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Attempt a mount, since NFS occasionally needs to create a symlink to rpc.statd. For example:
# mount -t nfs -o proto=rdma,port=20049,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nconnect=32,remoteports=10.231.180.95-10.231.180.98,remoteports_offset=1 10.231.180.95:/ifs/data/fio /mnt/test/
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants/rpc-statd.service → /lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.
In the above, a symlink created on the first mount. Perform a reload to confirm the service is running correctly. For example:
# dellnfs-ctl reload
