There are a few options.<br>
<br>
<blockquote>1) Easiest path, change out your NIC's for an
appropriate RDMA enabled NIC (RNic) and run hardware based RoCE.
This may include needing to change OS since I am not 100% sure on
where the various vendors stand on Debian support.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>2) More adventourous option, SoftRoCE or RXE. This
option will work better in time since the SoftRXE distribution is
under new development and we are getting close to a new release.
At the Open Fabrics Workshop last March there was a presentation
that covered this project

If you would like to participate in the testing of this new
repository there is a wiki page on the community git repository
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SoftRoCE/rxe-dev/wiki/rxe-dev:-Home">https://github.com/SoftRoCE/rxe-dev/wiki/rxe-dev:-Home</a>) that
describes how to get the latest development code running. This is
currently running on Ubuntu, Redhat/Centos, and Fedora but we do
not have a dedicated Debian effort.<br>
<br>
We welcome all "testers" during this current phase but stress that
we are in the development phase and this distribution is subject
to change regularly. We also welcome any issues found to be
logged with the appropriate amount of detail to the github issues
section of the community repo
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SoftRoCE/rxe-dev/issues">https://github.com/SoftRoCE/rxe-dev/issues</a>).<br>

<pre wrap="">hey all,
new to the list and have a question.
We currently have 2 servers that we would like to connect using RDMAoE.
These servers are running Debian Wheezy with dual 10G intel NICs each.
I found information here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.systemfabricworks.com/downloads/roce">http://www.systemfabricworks.com/downloads/roce</a>
telling me to download here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://198.171.48.62/pub/OFED-1.5.2-rxe.tgz">http://198.171.48.62/pub/OFED-1.5.2-rxe.tgz</a>
Unfortunately the package is a bunch of source RPMs and of little to no
use unless I would enjoy torturing myself by plucking apart the .spec
file to generate a DEBIAN directory per hand for each package.
After searching for another day I stumbled across
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads">https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads</a> and no information how to get the
rxe package/options enabled, and
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ofed">https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ofed</a> which seems to be woefully
out of date.
Does anyone have ANY actual information on RDMAoE and maybe, just maybe,
an actual howto on compiling for it. Generating DEBs once I know what
I'm doing will not be to hard.
Thanks,
Chuck
unfortunately
