[ofa-general] Infiniband data transfer across servers w/ differentIB drivers

[Boris Shpolyansky]

I am not familiar with SBS IB driver for VxWorks, but in general any IB
compliant HCA
should talk with any other IB compliant switch/HCA with no regards to
the driver implementation.
Make sure to run SM on one of the ends to enable link establishment.

differentIB drivers



Hi, 

I am currently experimenting with Infiniband data transfers across
servers with different operating systems. 
Is it possible for two servers with different Infiniband drivers (and
OS) to communicate for data transfers - as in 
the example below. 

Server A runs VxWorks and uses SBS IB driver modules and APIs 
  
Server B runs Linux and uses OFED 1.0 drivers and APIs 

- Is it possible for these servers to transfer data across Infiniband
the way they are currently set up? 
OR 
- Would I need to update Server A to have the OFED 1.0 IB drivers? 

Let me know if you need any more information that might help answer
these questions... 


Thanks,
