Hi folks,
I remember that I read 2018 or 2019 something about support of infiniband. I read that it was not fully supported. I have mellanox connect-x3 (56GBit FDR, 40GBit QDR) nics and I remember that I had to rebuild the kernel of the FreeBSD I used (I don't remember the version) to test the ib-nic. I also remember it worked, I could play ping-pong using ping, but my tests did not go further, because I was short in time and those ib-nics were supposed to be used in linux boxes. I also remember that I read something about lack of support of nfs. I remember that those nics just run in ethernet mode unter FreeBSD (no ib mode?). Is this true?
Now, I would like to discuss here what support those mellanox connect-x3 ib do have. Does RDMA work? What about nfs? What about support of iSER?
If you have experience with that technologies, please, feel free to join this thread.
