<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To start practicing infinband in my personal home lab, i managed to compile OpenSM for ESXi to avoid buying an expansive switch and do back-to-back wiring between two HP ML110 servers and Mellanox Connect X cards. The trick is compiling
the binary on CentOS 3.9 i386 and that makes is usable on ESXi but i had to modify some device path access (/sys/class/infiniband to /proc/infiniband and /dev/infiniband to /dev) in the source files of OpenSM.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s working but i have some issues and they might be related.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, the cpu usage of two of the OpenSM processes are too high (almost 100% each) and makes me think of a cpu loop or something similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, i got a constant massive flow of this error in the opensm.log : [2F66AB90] 0x01 -> umad_receiver: ERR 5404: recv error on MAD sized umad (Resource temporarily unavailable)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could some one help me to understand and solve this ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
