Hello,
  The Linux ibnetdiscover lists HCAs in the format 'hostname portnum HCA-description'.
Windows ibnetdiscover lists HCAs as 'HCA-description'.
I would like to enhance the Windows HCA driver, NodeDescription I believe, to include the 'hostname port' in order to provide format consistency for management tools which expect this format.
I was thinking along the lines of adding 'hostname portnum' to the NodeDescription string when the port goes Active.
Is this a good/correct choice?
Suggestions?
thanks,
stan.
