IBDM is not available for OpenIB as yet and the OpenIB diagnostics have been in place for a while now. Also, as far as I know, no one outside of Mellanox has looked at this. So that would be a next step. Is there any documentation on IBDM ? Also, are there updates to this or is the version in the tree what should be looked at (and commented on) ? > Also you did not answer the first question.

IMO that was not the case. I don't have the time to go dig these back out right now. -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
