To me, non volatile in this context means something like using the system name. Would this be hard to do? In fact, I would prefer to see the system name used instead of whatever is programmed in the HCA as the default. Granted, this makes the node description burned in the firmware useless, but that doesn't seem like a big deal. - Fab _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
