NetEffect cards have iWARP drivers in OFED and RoCEE is not supported by NetEffect cards.

The latter requires RDMA and CEE, whereas Soft-Rocee does not have these dependencies. The NetEffect and Mellanox cards both have RoCEE drivers in OFED and these should be used in preference. The maintainers will accept bugs on these. Soft RoCEE is not currently included or maintained by OFED and is maintained separately by systemfabricworks From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Pearson Sent: 05 May 2011 03:24 To: 'Tanin'; 'OpenFabrics EWG'; 'Dantong Yu'; 'fatfish'; 'Shudong Jin' Subject: Re: [ewg] Soft-RoCE on NetEffect NE020 10Gb RNIC Hi Mr Lee, I will respond off list since rxe is not technically part of OFED.

The Soft-RoCE can work on the first two cards, but when I applied the Soft-RoCE to the Neteffect card and use "ibv_devinfo" to view the RDMA device, I got following errors on some of the hosts in our cluster, and the whole OFED stack doesnot work.

All iWARP RNIC's are on different hosts of the same cluster, and connected via a Juniper EX 2500 switch. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Li, Tan PhD Candidate & Research Assistant, Electrical Engineering, Stony Brook University, NY Personal Web Site: https://sites.google.com/site/homepagelitan/Home Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
