Hello, While trying to figure out how to configure jumbo frames(9000 byte MTU) on our ethernet nics, I discovered the recent support for this in the latest version of the confignics/configeth/configib using a new nicextraparams field in the nics table. While this functionality exists in git, it appears that this functionality has not yet made it into a release(or at least it's not in the 2.9 RHEL7 yum repository packages.) Is this functionality slated for a particular release? If so, does xCAT have a regular releas schedule, or is it more of an it'll be ready when it's ready sort of thing?
Also, I'm a little confused. I can see the nicextraparams support in the 2.9 branch in git but it doesn't appear to be in the 2.9 release builds. Is the 2.9 git branch then just an development branch for all 2.9 releases? Is there any way to check out of git the files that would correspond to a given official release? finally, does anyone have a workaround to configure jumbo frames or other options on non-management network interfaces with existing releases of xCAT? I imagine I could write a niccustomscripts script to do this, but that seems like a bit of a waste of time if this will be a feature in a soon to be released version of xCAT. -Allie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
