[ofa-general] Infinband and DRBD

[Robert Dunkley]

Hi,

I think it answers my question. I'm curious to know IPOIB-CM would offer
better performance but can't find much information on the difference
between IPOIB and IPOIB-CM on Google. Does anyone have a link or a
little bit of info on the differences?

>From the little bit of info I can find it seems Centos 5.2 uses some
sort of OFED 1.3 but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't know which OFED version is installed in the Distribution
version that you are using,
but i think (as a general rule, at least at this stage): users should
install the latest OFED
release if this version number is higher than the one that originally
being installed with
your distribution.

I hope that i answered your answer ...
