<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently experimenting with Infiniband data
transfers across servers with different operating systems.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Is it possible for two servers with different Infiniband
drivers (and OS) to communicate for data transfers - as in</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>the example below.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Server A runs VxWorks and uses SBS IB driver modules
and APIs</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Server B runs Linux and uses OFED 1.0 drivers and APIs</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Is it possible for these servers to transfer data
across Infiniband the way they are currently set up?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>OR </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Would I need to update Server A
to have the OFED 1.0 IB drivers?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let me know if you need any more information that
might help answer these questions...</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT> </P><BR></BODY></HTML>
