Config Notes

-Updated the hwinfo rpm to hwinfo-15.46-0.6.1.x86_64.rpm, so we could see both ports on the Mellanox Ethernet controller (HP NC543i).
-Removed the Infiniband Module from the motherboard so the Infiniband port on the Mellanox card (HP NC543i) would act like a 10 GB ethernet port. Infiniband to Ethernet Adapter was needed from HP.
-Created /etc/modprobe.d/mlx4.conf with the following line to load the mlx4_en driver on bootup. "install mlx4_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install mlx4_core && /sbin/modprobe mlx4_en"
-Please note that for full support on the listed OS release a special support contract is necessary.
