I am working on porting/upgrading the latest linux kernel (4.8) on my another host. I will get back to you if I have any challenges in connecting to the nvme target.

List the devices that SPDK can see You can run the identify or nvme_manage example to get a nice list of all of the devices that SPDK can attach to. They are in examples/nvme. > 2. Start nvmf target driver with nvme devices We have this page: http://www.spdk.io/spdk/doc/nvmf_getting_started.html, which is accurate for our last tagged release but has gone stale for the code on 'master'. We'll have an updated one shortly. Right now it's fairly early stages, so you mostly have to just read the code. Our configuration file is reasonably well documented too. > 3. What nvmf initiator that we can use to connect this on the host > machine (ubuntu)? We test against the NVMe-oF initiator that will be added to the Linux kernel. It currently exists as a set of patches against kernel 4.8. Here is an article from Mellanox explaining how to set up your Linux kernel for NVMe-oF: https://community.mellanox.com/docs/DOC-2508. SPDK can run against essentially any modern Linux kernel, so you only have to put kernel 4.8 on the initiator system. > > > Thanks, > -kiru > > _______________________________________________ > SPDK mailing list > SPDK(a)lists.01.org > https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk _______________________________________________ SPDK mailing list SPDK(a)lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk --===============6730570608931136420==--
