Is the OpenSM vendor layer available in Windows for OpenIB or is this something which needs to be developed ? > Since this layer is already available on both Windows and Linux stacks > it could allow us to have the same code tree for both.

Not sure exactly what you have in mind here but there is something like this on the TODO list. How are GUIDs and LIDs aggregated into a name ? Is this SystemImageGUID ? > The discovery tool would also be enhanced to perform some basic health > checks for the fabric. Sure that can be an additional option.

Not sure what you mean exactly by MAD and topology manipulations layers. Are there different tools ?

Will the development then be done in the OpenIB tree or will the drop model be used ? On the Linux side, the community desires the tools to be built with autotools. -- Hal > Eitan > > Eitan Zahavi > > Design Technology Director > > Mellanox Technologies LTD > > Tel:+972-4-9097208 > Fax:+972-4-9593245 > > P.O.
