Hi Johan,

Yes, SRP. As I said, we had everything working fine before which means we also have a subnet
manager. The SM actually runs on it's own litlte box.

----------      -----------      -----
| storage|======|IB Switch|======|KVM|
----------      -----------      -----
                  |     |
                ----   ------
                |SM|   |ESXi|
                ----   ------

Normally there are only three paths; one iSCSI and two SRP.

I spent a lot of time hunting around on the KVM system looking for clues as at that time I didn't
see any issues else where in the setup.

On OmniOS, in /var/adm/messages I had this:

Isn't the hermon0 driver for the Mellanox cards?

Kind regards,
Tom
