I have to admit, I don't know many details about OpenSolaris packaging.

But I believe that the IB infrastructure and ULPs and the tavor driver are already included - all I want to try and do is to get the hermon driver installed as well, so that the user's expectations/experience would be the same for IB, regardless of what the HCA is.


Actually, the fact that there's any IB on the LiveCD is prob. more of
an artifact than a conscious design choice :-/.

I understand what you're saying, but the fact that it IS there and IB customers do expect that all the HCAs will be available without further intervention means that it will be a dissatisfier not to have it installed. As far as space is concerned, it is:

Name: SUNWhermon
Summary: Sun IB Hermon HCA driver
Publisher: opensolaris.org
Version: 0.5.11
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.111 Packaging Date: Fri May 8 16:07:54 2009
Size: 1.12 MB
FMRI: pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.111:20090508T160754Z

So, not a huge addition to the available 700MB. Is there any way to get this added?

I'm sure you didn't mean this, but there isn't 700MB of available space on the LiveCD, but at last check, it's more in the range of < 5 megabytes of available space :)

I'd propose this on caiman-discus or install-discuss and see if they have room.

Cheers,
