[openib-general] OpenIB Linux and Solaris

[Paul Baxter]

Can anybody comment on recent experience regarding inter-operability of 
OpenIB/Linux on Intel 64 bit  x86 and Sparx/Solaris using the Sun stack?

Ideally inter-operability would start at IPoIB and the SM but perhaps extend 
to inter-operable SDP?

Has anyone tried porting some userspace low-level OpenIB verbs comms (UC, 
RDMA write specifically). I am not experienced enough to understand if there 
are any gotchas with unimplemented features in either the Solaris or OpenIB 
implementations. I've not had much luck investigating the equivalent of 
userspace verbs support for Solaris.

I notice that some of the commercial stacks offer cross platform support and 
say 'OpenIB support, Linux, Windows, Solaris and Mac OS X'. I suspect this 
might be subtle wording as I don't think OpenIB is ported toSolaris, ULP 
support is using some Solaris 10 drivers instead?

Advice/ URL pointers appreciated (Google wasn't my friend!)
