[openib-general] RE: [opened-general] IP over IB problem

[shaharf]

Just a small correction: Voltaire's IPoIB should work with minism as
long it is configured to do it (using the ib-setup option 3,2). As a
matter of fact it should be treated as a hack, but it should be enough
for back to back configuration.
OpenSM should work with a Voltaire Host, but I am not sure that it is
tested.

minism is insufficient for running IPoIB. You need a full SM. I do not
believe there is a host based SM for the Voltaire stack although I'm not
100% about whether OpenSM in some configuration works over the Voltaire
stack.

So what I would recommend is not a back to back configuration for doing
this. Either add in a switch with an embedded SM, or a switch without an
embedded SM and another end node which would run an SM. Is that possible
?
