Is it OK to just download the latest OFED re= lease and start playing, or are there any known issues that I should kn= ow of when it comes to SR-IOV with the current release? I would recommend using the IB/RDMA stack from the upstream kernel or=20 the one provided with one of the distros that picked SRIOV support from= =20 upstream into the bits they ship. Note that IB and Ethernet are=20 supported for ConnectX VFs, but not yet RoCE. Or. Also note you need to do some preparations at the node (bios, kernel=20 boot command line) level and card (re-burn the firmware with sriov=20 support enabled, see the web or your mellanox rep) level. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" i= n the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
