FW: [ofa-general] libsdp in OFED 1.1

[Jonathan Robertson]

Hi Jim,

We are actually using OFED 1.1. Hopefully we'll move to 1.2 in a few weeks. The systems using it are SLES 9 SP3.

Uname -a:
Linux oracle 2.6.5-7.244-smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have added alias net-pf-27 ib_sdp to modprobe.conf.local
I have modified /usr/local/ofed/etc/libsdp.conf to have the following lines:
log min-level 9 destination syslog
use both server "/usr/local/bin/netserver" *:*
use both client "/usr/local/bin/netperf" *:*
And I created /etc/ld.so.preload and have:
/usr/local/ofed/lib64/libsdp.so

Is there a close function in ofed 1.1? Perhaps I should try to add that to port.c for 1.1?

My reply to your email bounced...
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: <removed>@austin.rr.com'

Thanks!
Jonathan

Hi,
  I have just taken over support for libsdp and am feeling my way here.
Probably I should have replied to the list, but this works too.

  I assume you are using OFED 1.2 version of the code.  There is a close()
function in that code (port.c), so there is something fishy here.  Could you
send a little more info please.  Stuff like distro, 32/64, and perhaps the
script/commands you use to automate the preload process.

Something like:

  # uname -a
  Linux sw106.lab.mtl.com 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:32:02 EDT \
  2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ofed/lib64:/usr/local/ofed/lib
  # export LD_PRELOAD=libsdp.so
  # export LIBSDP_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/infiniband/libsdp.conf 

  # ls 
  config_parser.c   config_scanner.c   libsdp.la  Makefile     match.c
port.lo
  config_parser.h   config_scanner.lo  log.c      Makefile.am  match.lo
sdp_inet.h
  config_parser.lo  libsdp.h           log.lo     Makefile.in  port.c
socket.c


Thanks,
Jim

Hello,

I have been using libsdp, and preloading it with the application. I would
like to have it automatically preloaded, but am concerned about some error
messages that seem harmless. So I don't want to have our client use the
ld.so.preload if there are going to be messages.

I see the following when I run a simple 'ls'

# ls
Wed Jul 18 06:11:09 2007 ls[8105] libsdp Error close: no implementation for
close found
 .
..
#

Any suggestions?

I have the following in libsdp.conf
Log min-level 9 destination syslog
Use both server netserver *:*
Use both client netperf *:*

Our client is interested in having weblogic communicate with the oracle DB
using SDP, and the interface to oracle and weblogic being accessible via
tcp/ip over Ethernet as well.

Thanks!
Jonathan
