Local fix

Problem summary

  • The systemhealth monitor did not detect all paths
    for RDMA support (libibverbs.so library) on Ubuntu Machines.
    Therefore it reports a "ib_rdma_libs_wrong_path" issue.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Benefits of the solution:
    Since Debian/Ubuntu introduced
    Multiarch Architecture Specifiers,
    most libraries live in a
    /usr/lib/<architecture>-linux-gnu/ directory.
    This is now considered by the systemhealth monitor.
    So on a x86_64 Ubuntu machines, the
    libraries are also searched under the
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directory.
    
    Work around:
    Not known
    
    Problem trigger:
    The issue shows up on Ubuntu machines with RDMA in use.
    
    Symptom:
