[openfabrics-ewg] rc3 installation issues.

Sun Apr 30 22:32:21 PDT 2006

Intel MPI 2.0 does work with OFED 1.0 rc3 on RHEL4 U3 despite the lack
of uCMA, here's example output on x86_64 w/PCI-E:

	Intel MPI needs a stable uDAPL and supporting usermode
verbs/uCMA and such.
	If you have that, then Intel MPI should work. If you want to get
a copy of Intel MPI
	to use in your testing of OFED, I can put you in contact with
our Intel MPI lead and he can
	provide you with the code and a license.

	Please work with Vlad to make sure you have what you need in
rc4.

	Regards,

	Not yet. Last I heard, there was no uDAPL in OFED that is neeed
by Intel MPI. Maybe RC4.

	Woody,

	Are you testing Intel MPI on top of OFED?

	Regards,

	The latest patches I have is for SVN 6509 on the trunk. 
	https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport-to-2.6.9/
	infiniband-backport-svn6509-to-2.6.9-34.EL-kernel-fixups-00.diff
	infiniband-backport-svn6509-to-2.6.9-34.EL-kernel-fixups-01.diff
	infiniband-backport-svn6509-to-2.6.9-openib-drivers-02.diff
	infiniband-backport-svn6509-to-2.6.9-openib-fixups-03.diff

	I don't split the patches by component, but rather have one to
strip out the old IB
	code in RedHat EL4.0, one to apply needed kernel changes to the
RedHat kernel,
	one for the openib drivers, and one for openib fixups that are
needed.

	We plan to do a backport of uCMA for RC4.

	Can you point me to your backport of uCMA for 2.6.9-34EL

	Thanks,

	Tziporet

	Note that there are two uDAPL providers for OpenIB. One uses
standard sockets for connections (socket CM)

	and the other uses CMA. I would suggest that you should include
the socket CM uDAPL provider even

	if you do not have a backport for uCMA.

	BTW. - My backport patches contain backport for uCMA for
2.6.9-34-EL if you need an example.
