Thanks John, I will double check if “lspci” and “dmesg” show my infiniband cards.
>From my understanding OFED includes the following: “kernel-level drivers, channel-oriented RDMA and send/receive operations, kernel bypasses of the operating system, both kernel and user-level application programming interface (API) and services for parallel message passing (MPI), sockets data exchange (e.g., RDS, SDP), NAS and SAN storage (e.g. iSER, NFS-RDMA, SRP) and file system/database systems.” Without OFED infiniband cards can not transfer data across the wire. Not sure if this is the best place to ask about OFED or if I should contact the OFED mailing list. The problem is OFED only appears to be compiled/supported on x86. I have never seen OFED on sparc debian and the source never compiles when I attempt to do. The OFED mailing list might point me back to the sparc mailing list since OFED is only supported on x86. https://www.openfabrics.org/index.php/openfabrics-software.html https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ Tony On 11/13/15, 1:36 AM, "John Paul Adrian Glaubitz" <[email protected]> wrote: >On 11/13/2015 09:58 AM, Tony Rodriguez wrote: >>>From my understanding some individuals are working on updating/fixing >> Debian sparc64.
