InfiniBand on OpenStorage, etc.

Some exciting news: InfiniBand has been added to the OpenStorage offerings starting with the Q3.2009. Check out Cindi's blog here.

Of course, there have improvements for InfiniBand support in Solaris 10 10/09 release migrating over from the stuff in Nevada.

I have been told the X4239A DDR FEM HCA is really for the X6450 blade.

And there have been more Sun QDR switch models now too.

And of course, if what I say is contradicted elsewhere by official stuff, I am probably wrong!

Hi Ted,

I am looking for a driver for the Mellanox Infinihost III Lx HCA for OpenSolaris 2009.06.

In this earlier thread

http://blogs.sun.com/RandomDude/category/General

you wrote: "Just to update others on the related email I have seen about this issue internally... I think you we need an OpenSolaris (not Solaris 10) driver for Arbel in your case. FWIW, it's been discussed internally, though I guess it's not yet resolved."

Do you have an update as to which driver to use for this card?

Thanks & Regards

Arend

I don't think there has been any progress on doing an OpenSolaris driver the the InfiniHost III Lx.
