similar to: XCP & InfiniBand

Hello, I have been playing with the XCP for a while now, and must say I''m very exited about the technology. I had no prior experience with Xen so it has taken me a while to understand the concepts, but now I feel most important issues are solved and I''ve purchased some hardware to build my (tiny) cloud on. The box is a Supermicro 1026TT-IBXF, so I have 2 x Ethernet and 1 x

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

In IRC today, someone who was hitting that same IB performance ceiling that occasionally gets reported had this to say [11:50] <nissim> first, I ran fedora which is not supported by Mellanox OFED distro [11:50] <nissim> so I moved to CentOS 6.3 [11:51] <nissim> next I removed all distibution related infiniband rpms and build the latest OFED package [11:52] <nissim>

Hi, I'm trying to set up a small CTDB cluster running in an IPoIB InfiniBand network. When I try to start up a cluster with a set of public IP addresses, the public addresses do not come online. So, I removed the public address configuration and started a single node up by hand, then tried to add a public address as follows: [root at gp-1-0 ctdb]# ctdb ip Public IPs on node 0 [root at

Hi all, I''m getting my feet wet in the infiniband lake and of course I run into some problems. It would seem I got the compilation part of sles11 kernel 2.6.27 + Lustre 1.8.3 + ofed 1.4.2 right, because it allows me to see and use the infiniband fabric, and because ko2iblnd loads without any complaints. In /etc/modprobe.d/lustre (this is a Debian system, hence this subdir of

We have a new install of CentOS 6.7 with infiniband support installed. We can see the card in hardware and we can see the mlx4 drivers loaded in the kernel but cannot see the card as an ethernet interface, using ifconfig -a. Can you recommend an install procedure to see this as an ethernet interface? Thanks On 05/25/2016 07:32 AM, Fabian Arrotin wrote: > On 25/05/16 03:08, Pat Haley

Hey guys, So, we're testing Gluster RDMA storage, and are having some issues. Things are working...just not as we expected them. THere isn't a whole lot in the way, that I've foudn on docs for gluster rdma, aside from basically "install gluster-rdma", create a volume with transport=rdma, and mount w/ transport=rdma.... I've done that...and the IB fabric is known to be

Hi, I found a link: http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-smartio.hg for Xen-IB source codes, but it did''t exist anymore. Are there other ways to get the Xen-IB source codes? Thanks.

hi people I wonder if anybody experience any problems with vols in replica mode that run across IPoIB links and libvirt stores qcow image on such a volume? I wonder if maybe devel could confirm it should just work, and then hardware/Infiniband I should blame. I have a direct IPoIB link between two hosts, gluster replica volume, libvirt store disk images there. I start a guest on hostA and

Hi, is there a way to install aditional drivers or packages to xcp system ? I''m in need to include infiniband card drivers and the ofed stack into it.

Dear List, We have lots of issues running Glusterfs over Infiniband. The client can mount the share, but when trying to access it by ls, df, touch du or any other kind the client hosts freeze the accessing shell and reboot is hardly possible. OS: CentOS 6.0 64 bit on i7 2600k machines Version: GlusterFS 3.2.2, also found in lower 3.2.1 Kernel Version 2.6.32 IB Stack and kernel

We seemed to have it a stumbling block when building with the above (supported) versions. Our process... 1. Start with stock rhel5 2.6.18-8.1.14 source tree 2. Configure InfiniBand support out of the the kernel (we will build OFED separately). 3. Apply the 1.6.4.2 kernel patches to the kernel source. 4. Build the kernel. 5. Build OFED 1.2 against the patched kernel 6. Build Lustre using

Is there a document with some guidelines for setting up bricks with tcp or rdma transport? I'm looking at a new deployment where the storage cluster hosts connect via 10GigE, but clients are on 1GigE. Over time, there will be 10GigE clients, but the majority will remain on 1GigE. In this setup, should the storage bricks use tcp or rdma? If tcp is the better choice, and at some point in the

Hi All, We looking for suggestions on dealing with mellanox drivers in CentOS 6.7 We tried installing mellanox drivers (MLNX_OFED_LINUX-3.2-2.0.0.0-rhel6.7-x86_64) on a Quanta Cirrascale server running Centos 6.7 - 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64. When we rebooted the machine after installing the drivers, it went into a kernel panic for every installed kernel except for Centos 6.7

When attempting to boot a system using Infiniband interfaces, ipconfig does not recognize Infiniband NICs as having valid MAC addresses, so they are silently ignored. As I would like to be able to netboot using Infiniband, I have patched ipconfig to support Infiniband interfaces. Fortunately, it's a pretty simple and straightforward patch. Below is the patch for your consideration. ---

Hello folks, I am running Xen 2.6 under Centos 5.2 installation, and am trying to port Xen migration abilities to Infiniband. But, the InfiniBand drivers do not work under Xen kernel, only under non-Xen kernels. It looks like I need to install some patches to rectify the situation. Has anyone ever worked with Infiniband and Xen and would be able to give me inputs about the same? I would really

Hey guys, I am running gluster over infiniband, and I have a couple of questions. We have four servers, each with 1 disk that I am trying to access over infiniband using gluster. The servers look like they start okay, here are the last 10 or so lines of a client log (they are all identical): 2008-10-07 07:18:40 D [spec.y:196:section_sub] parser: child:stripe0->remote1 2008-10-07 07:18:40 D

Hi, I suffered an oss crash where my oss server had a cpu fault. I have it running again, but I am trying to decommission it. I am migrating the data off of it onto other ost''s using the lfs find command with lfs_migrate. It''s been nearly 36 hours and about 2 terabytes have been moved. This means I am about halfway. Is this a decent rate? Here are the particulars, which
