[OmniOS-discuss] Infiniband In Omni

[Matthew Mabis]

Hey All

I was wondering if someone who has been using IB in their lab has any good advice for someone just starting to integrate IB into their ZFS environment.  I have Connect-X (HCA) Card put into the host ( i do have a CX3 but i have heard its not natively supported and there were issues with the drivers) what i am looking for is this

    Any Best Practices for using IPoIB with OmniOS?
    Should i use the Stock drivers build into solaris (are there different ones that work better more stable?)
    Are there Management tools i can install to run further tests?
    Any other Guidelines you might recommend.

What i am going to attempt is my 3 ESXI hosts have CX-3 (VPI Pro Cards) connected to a SX6012 Switch i have a CX4 to QSFP cable coming to hook it into the switch and wanted to see if there would be any problems (yes the CX card is 20Gb/s) but this is the best i can offer it based on the drivers.

Anything someone might see as an issue (Gonna try iSCSI/NFS with This method direct lines to the hosts) uses CIFS on the 1Gb Ether.
Thanks
Matt Mabis
