DOCA Framework New Features and Updates

This LTS version has been tested and is fully supported with the following GB versions: GB200 v1.3.10 and GB300 v1.0.10.

  • 3P Switch Integrity Check – The DOCA Installer now detects and reports issues with the 3-port (3P) switch on BlueField-3 B3140H (NIC mode) cards during firmware bundle updates. If an abnormal condition is identified, the installer halts the update without modifying the BMC firmware, returns an error code, and logs details to both the console and log files. This improves visibility into hardware-related issues during installation and enables faster troubleshooting.

  • Bug fixes

DOCA-Host and DOCA Drivers New Features and Updates

NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 networking platforms must use DOCA-Host as the host driver. MLNX_OFED does not support BlueField-3 devices.

  • HPC-X Installation – The doca-ofed installation profile provides MLNX_OFED-equivalent drivers and tools and does not include NVIDIA HPC-X. To use MPI or other HPC-X functionality, install HPC-X separately. The supported HPC-X version for this release is 2.25.3. For version alignment across DOCA 3.2 LTS updates, refer to the Long-Term Support (LTS) Releases table.
