similar to: Are there source codes for Xen-IB?

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 am running XCP 0.5. I have an InfiniBand network in place that I would like to use to connect to my NFS server for VM image storage. Has anybody tried getting IB to work with XCP? Is there a document that outlines the steps for getting IB to work with XCP? Also, I don''t need to expose the IB network to any of the domU. I only want to use the IB network to connecting to NFS based

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

Hello, I''m trying to get to work InfiniBand card in DomU via exporting PCI device. How does the export works internally? I guess that pci frontend forwards stuff like pci_read_config_dword and pci_write_config_dword to pci backend that actually does it. Am I right? So if the driver of InfiniBand writes some config values to PCI config space and these values are not applied actually,

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

Data center backends use more and more RDMA or RoCE devices and more and more software runs in virtualized environment. There is a need for a standard to enable RDMA/RoCE on Virtual Machines. Virtio is the optimal solution since is the de-facto para-virtualizaton technology and also because the Virtio specification allows Hardware Vendors to support Virtio protocol natively in order to achieve

Well I just tried up2date -u Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... Downloading headers to solve dependencies... ####################################### Downloading headers to solve dependencies... There was a package dependency problem.

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. ---

Is anyone using Gluster with the Rocks cluster system? If so, do you know if there is a Roll for Gluster? Or, do you have any advice about things to do and things to avoid doing? We're considering using Gluster with Infiniband on our cluster and trying to learn whether other people have done this so we can perhaps learn from their experience. Thanks. ..

Hi- I'm new to Gluster, but am trying to get it set up on a new compute cluster we're building. We picked Gluster for one of our cluster file systems (we're also using Lustre for fast scratch space), but the Gluster performance has been so bad that I think maybe we have a configuration problem -- perhaps we're missing a tuning parameter that would help, but I can't find

Hi Lamia, Currently there is no direct InfiniBand access support in the Official Xen trees. You might want to have a look at our Xen-IB implementation. A preliminary version can be downloaded here: http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-smartio.hg Some information about its design and applications can be found here: High Performance VMM-Bypass I/O in Virtual Machines (Usenix 06), and A Case for

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

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

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, All, I used Infiniband to connect all GlusterFS nodes and the clients. Previously I run IP over IB and everything was OK. Now I used rdma transport mode instead. And then I ran the traffic. After I while, the glusterfs process exited because of segmentation fault. Here were the messages when I saw segmentation fault: pending frames: frame : type(0) op(0) frame : type(0) op(0)

This morning I''ve had both my infiniband and tcp lustre clients hiccup. They are evicted from the server presumably as a result of their high load and consequent timeouts. My question is- why don''t the clients re-connect. The infiniband and tcp clients both give the following message when I type "df" - Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown (-108). I''ve

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
