I know for sure that at some point OpenFabrics OpenSM has forked and was used as a basis for *some* Solaris SM, which possibly will preserve the same headers. The MAD format has to stay the same to provide interoperability, and I doubt that someone renamed MAD fields just for fun. So the questions is, what header and what package contain there structures. I'm checking this offline with Oracle IB people. Other question is do Oracle folks care about IB QoS and torus/mesh topologies w.r.t. OMPI, because otherwise the dynamic SL is irrelevant. -- YK > > On Jul 14, 2011, at 7:24 AM, Terry Dontje wrote: > >> I do but my machine room's power is down so I don't have access to it right >> now.
