Dear colleagues !
I've some problem w/Mellanox IB software installation (in particular, the absence of xp0 kernel module).
I've installed Infiniband HCA (PCI-X Infinihost MT23108 low profile) to upgarde my interconnect on Tyan S2880 under SuSE Linux 9.0 (2.4.21-243).
It's official software platform supported by whole Mellanox IBHPC-0.5.0 software collection.
I had difficulty with the 0.5.0 release on SuSE (9.1), but the latest release (1.6.0) which is available through the their web site (with registration). This worked seamlessly IPoIB came right up no problem. The resulting package is a bit bloated, but you do get everything. ...
3) TO BE MORE CORRECT: pls take into account, that my host w/installed software& Mellanox hardware *isn't connected* currently with IB switch (i.e. is "standalone" server !)
Remember that you need some form of subnet management to assign LIDs to the ports (minism or opensm on one node after the port is in "INIT" state -- using vstat). ... remaining deleted to save to old growth electrons ...
