[ofw] IB Hosts Name

[Fab Tillier]

WinOF used to behave like this, but some "improvement" in MAD handling or some such broke that functionality.  It should be easy enough for the SMI to trap node info responses (allowing the HCA to perform all security checks) and replace the node description with the host name.

Subject: [ofw] IB Hosts Name

I notice that with the Linux OFED driver, the response to 'ibhosts' is the assigned name of the server, which is usually different with every server. With the WinOF driver, the response to 'ibhosts' is the name of the card, which is the same for every card.

Is it possible to have WinOF behave like OFED? I think it would help with the management tools.

Thanks,

Mike Anderson
