Is there any plan to release an RC6 package (or an RC7)
that has a Pathscale driver that
compiles on RHEL4 - U3 that we can test before the release
?

We have prepared OFED 1.0 RC6. Release location: https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/releases File: OFED-1.0-rc6.tgz
Note: This release is the code freeze release for OFED 1.0. Only showstopper bugs will be fixed.
BUILD_ID: OFED-1.0-rc6
openib-1.0 (REV=7772) # User space https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/1.0/src/userspace # Kernel space https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/tags/rc6/linux-kernel Git: ref: refs/heads/for-2.6.17 commit d9ec5ad24ce80b7ef69a0717363db661d13aada5
# MPI mpi_osu-0.9.7-mlx2.1.0.tgz openmpi-1.1b1-1.src.rpm mpitests-1.0-0.src.rpm
OSes: * RH EL4 up2: 2.6.9-22.ELsmp * RH EL4 up3: 2.6.9-34.ELsmp * Fedora C4: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 * SLES10 RC2: 2.6.16.16-1.6-smp * SUSE 10 Pro: 2.6.13-15-smp * kernel.org: 2.6.16.x
Systems: * x86_64 * x86 * ia64 * ppc64
Main changes from RC5: 1. SDP – libsdp implementation of RFC proposed by Eitan Zahavi; bug fixes in kernel module. See details below. 2. SRP – bug fixes 3. Open MPI – new package based on 1.1b1-1 4. OSU-MPI – See details below. 5. iSER: Enhanced to support SLES 10 RC1. 6. IPoIB default configuration changed: a. IPoIB configuration at install time is now optional. b. The default configuration of IPoIB interfaces (if performed at install time) is DHCP; it can be changed during interactive installation. c. For unattended installation one can give a new configuration file. See the example below. 7. Bug Fixes.
Package limitations: 1.
The ipath driver
does not compile/load on most systems. To be fixed in final
release. 2. iSER is working on SuSE SLES 10 RC1 only
IPoIB configuration file example: If you are going to install OFED on a 32 node cluster and want to use static IPoIB configuration based on Ethernet device configuration follow instructions below:
Assume that the Ethernet IP addresses (eth0 interfaces) of the cluster are: 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.32 and you want to assign to ib0 IP addresses in the range: 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.32 and to ib1 IP addresses in the range: 172.16.0.1 - 172.16.0.32
Then create the file ofed_net.conf with the following lines:
LAN_INTERFACE_ib0=eth0
Note: ‘*’ will be replaced by the corresponding octal from the eth0 IP address.
Assuming that you already have OFED configuration file (ofed.conf) with selected packages (created by running OFED-1.0/install.sh) Run: ./install.sh -c ofed.conf -net ofed_net.conf
OSU MPI: · Added mpi_alltoall fine tuning parameters · Added default configuration/documentation file $MPIHOME/etc/mvapich.conf · Added shell configuration files $MPIHOME/etc/mvapich.csh , $MPIHOME/etc/mvapich.csh ·
Default MTU was changed back to 2K
for InfiniHost III Ex and InfiniHost III Lx HCAs. For InfiniHost card
recommended value is:
SDP Details: libsdp enhancements according to the RFC:
Current SDP limitations: · SDP currently does not support sending/receiving out of band data (MSG_OOB). · Generally, SDP supports only SOL_SOCKET socket options. · The following options can be set but actual support is missing: o SO_KEEPALIVE - no keepalives are sent o SO_OOBINLINE - out of band data is not supported o SDP currently supports setting the following SOL_TCP socket options: o TCP_NODELAY, TCP_CORK - but actual support for these options is still missing · SDP currently does not handle Zcopy mode messages correctly and does not set MaxAdverts properly in HH/HAH messages.
OFED components tested by Mellanox:
Please send us any issues you encounter and/or test results.
