- Overview
the full Connectathon test suite and operates over both Infiniband and iWARP
RDMA adapters.
+OFED 1.5.4 limitations:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ NFS/RDMA has been ported and tested on the following kernels:
+ - Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 6.1
+ - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) version 11 service pack 1
+ - kernel.org 2.6.30-2.6.38
+
OFED 1.5.3 limitations:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NFSoRDMA was removed from the list of packages in the install script to
Testing has been performed using several Mellanox-based IB cards and
the Chelsio cxgb3 iWARP adapter.
- - Install OFED 1.5.1
+ - Install OFED 1.5.4
- NFS/RDMA has been tested on RHEL5.2, RHEL 5.3, RHEL5.4, SLES11,
- kernels 2.6.22, 2.6.25, and 2.6.30. On these kernels,
NFS-RDMA will be installed by default if you simply select "install all",
and can be specifically included by a "custom" install.
Mount the NFS/RDMA server:
- $ mount.rnfs <IPoIB-server-name-or-address>:/<export> /mnt -o proto=rdma,port=20049
-
- NOTE: For kernels < 2.6.23, the "-i" flag must be passed into mount.rnfs.
- This option allows the mount command to ignore the kernel version check. If
- not disabled, the check will prevent passing arguments to the kernel and not
- allow the updated version of NFS to accept the "rdma" NFS option.
+ $ mount -t nfs4 <IPoIB-server-name-or-address>:/ /mnt -o rdma,port=20049
To verify that the mount is using RDMA, run "cat /proc/mounts" and check
the "proto" field for the given mount.
