Hi, all, Is the Xen currently compatible with the InfiniBand? I found some information about the Smart I/O module, but it was posted in 2006. Is the module still maintained? Or, are there any up-to-date alternatives for that? Many thanks, Chiu _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I have used InfiniBand with CentOS and Xen with good results. At this point, InfiniBand is still not supported by default by XCP (even though XCP is based on CentOS). Hopefully someday InfiniBand will be supported out of the box with XCP. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Chui-Hui Chiu Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 11:27 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] Xen and the InfiniBand Hi, all, Is the Xen currently compatible with the InfiniBand?

Is it possible and are there things that should be taken in concideration, if one uses ddk to build drivers for IB? I have Mellanox QDR, 40Gb/s IB integrated in my supermicro motherboards. Is the earlier advice, "use XenServer 5.6 FP1 ddr" still valid? -Henrik Andersson On 16 March 2011 19:20, <admin@xenhive.com> wrote:> I have used InfiniBand with CentOS and Xen with good results.

Dear All! I''m also interesting in compatibility of Xen to work with Infiniband. I''m also have Infiniband on my supermicro nodes (Mellanox ConnectX-2 QDR Infiniband 40Gbps Controller w/ QSFP connector) and want to use IPoIB and with external storage. I will be grateful for information from anyone who actually uses Infiniband with Xen. 2011/3/17 Henrik Andersson <henrik.j.andersson@gmail.com>> Is it possible and are there things that should be taken in concideration, > if one uses ddk to build drivers for IB?

Hi, Me too use supermicro twin servers to run Xen on Ubuntu/Debian and wanted to take advantages to use Infiniband to use external storages. Maybe even possible to boot it from there diskless? :) Any development and success story will be match appreciated. Thanks!

XCP 1.0 ddk is also in the works, but the XenServer 5.6 FP1 ddk will work.
