As I wrote in an earlier discussion (~2 months ago), we plan to add tgt
(SCSI target) with iSCSI over iSER (and TCP of course) support. The git
tree for tgt already exists on the ofa server.

RE: [ofa-general] Re: [ewg] OFED March 24 meeting summary on OFED 1.4 plans

2008-04-03 Thread Tang, Changqing

You have a system, all HCAs have two ports, all port 1 are connected to the 
first switch,
all port 2 are connected to the second switch, there is NO link between the two 
switches.
We call this system has two physically separated fabrics. If you have a bridge 
link
between the two switches, then it becomes a single fabric.

The same thing for multiple HCAs on nodes.

The problem is, from MPI side, (and by default), we don't know which port is on 
which
fabric, since the subnet prefix is the same. We rely on system admin to config 
two
different subnet prefixes for HP-MPI to work.

No vendor has claimed to support this.

RE: [ofa-general] Re: [ewg] OFED March 24 meeting summary on OFED 1.4 plans

2008-04-03 Thread Tang, Changqing

One other thing I hope to talk is some fabric query functionalities for normal 
user,
not only just for root. This is at IB verbs level, not rdma_cm level.

for example, in MPI, process A know the HCA guid on another node. After running 
for
some time, the switch is restarted for some reason, and the whole fabric is 
re-configured.

Now process A wants to know if the port lid on another node has changed or not, 
it knows
the HCA guid,  is there any function to query this ?

I know as root, we can use the mad/umad library to do this kind of query, I 
want to do
such query in MPI, which is a normal user.

Don't understand what the "air gapped" reference means.


There's no physical connection between the two -- there's an "air gap"  
between the networks (maybe it's a military term :-) ).

Yes, these two IB subnets need two different subnet prefixes. (I think
it's more than just HP MPI which needs this).

[ewg] physically separate subnets (was: OFED March 24 meeting summary on OFED 1.4 plans)

2008-04-03 Thread Jeff Squyres
In Open MPI, we require physically different ("air gapped") subnets to  
have different subnet ID's so that we can compute reachability  
correctly.  I don't know how to do it otherwise.

The same thing for multiple HCAs on nodes.

The problem is, from MPI side, (and by default), we don't know which

In the IB arch, there are SA registrations and queries for the specific
example you used. However, these are not directly exposed to Linux user
space directly (for the normal user as opposed to MAD user (note there
are some difficulties in making this available to the normal user)) (at
least not yet AFAIK). While these are not (direct) fabric query (really
SA query), they serve the same function in a different way.

Thanks. When can we have the SA features, very soon, long time, or never ?

I have OFED 1.3 and a Chelsio S310E-SR+ iWARP 10GE NIC.  I have 
ib_rdma_lat working, so I know IB verbs are working.
 
How do I use uDAPL, though?  All the default /etc/dat.conf entries have 
IPoIB or bonding interfaces in them.
 



Add an entry like this:


cxgb u1.2 nonthreadsafe default libdaplcma.so.1 dapl.1.2 "ethx 0" ""


Where ethx is the ethernet interface for the chelsio device.

Also, last time I ran it you needed this in your env:

export DAPL_MAX_INLINE=64

What does your network inferface config look like?   Does rping work?

Re: [ewg] RE: [ofa-general] how do I use uDAPL with iWARP?

2008-04-03 Thread Steve Wise

Guys,

I think this is the same iWARP issue that has been biting me for a 
while:  The client must send the first RDMA message.  The dtest app is a 
peer-2-peer (p2p) application where both sides send immediately after 
setting up the connection.  So dtest doesn't adhere to the iWARP 
specification (I know: the iWARP spec is broken :).


News:  I have some prototype FW from chelsio that supports p2p setup and 
with that FW and my associated iw_cxgb3 driver/library changes, then 
dtest seems to work fine.  These changes will be published upstream soon 
in order to support Open MPI and other p2p applications for chelsio.


For this initial release of p2p support over chelsio, the functionality 
will be 100% handled in the iw_cxgb3 driver and fw.  This is similar to 
what iw_nes does today with its send_first module option to send a 0B 
write from the client and defer connection establishment on the server 
until the 0B write is received.  Chelsio will have a similar module 
option called peer2peer (or I could make it the same option name: 
send_first) that will use a 0B read to force the client to send first 
(chelsio cannot use a 0B write for this).  The chelsio FW will defer the 
ESTABLISHED event until the 0B read is received and responded to.


The final proper device-independent solution to this will be done in the 
rdma-cma, the iwarp core and iwarp devices for upstream inclusion as 
well as for ofed-1.4.  Its a much bigger change and will affect the ABI 
for the rdma_cm probably (app can request p2p behavior).  There was a 
thread a while back driven by Arkady at NetApp with details on how we 
will implement this (using a small protocol in mpa start req/rep to 
negotiate this p2p mode).  Stay tuned for more on this.




Steve.

file in the tarball?

In file included from main.c:61:
../include/opensm/osm_opensm.h:56:35: error: opensm/osm_console_io.h: No such 
file or directory

If you're going to respin the package for that, could you also do a
quick test of opensm with no IB cable attached to the HCA?  I found
that opensm 3.2.0 would spin and hog a CPU when there was no cable
attached.  It's a pathological case, but sometimes happens in my lab.

Same here, you can get the file from this link:

Sure, it should be. I will re upload fixed tarball.

Unfortunately I cannot do it now - don't have any equipment available.

Thanks for reporting (although it would be better to have this report
right after 3.2.0). I will look at this after Sonoma.

OpenSM tarball was replaced by:

997d10f81896a0d70e0f21f0e78eca92  opensm-3.2.1.tar.gz

(due to compilation issue). Sorry about inconsistency.

CQ, not supporting a different subnet prefix per IB subnet is against
IB nature, I don't think there
should be any problem to configure a different prefix at each open SM
instance and the Linux host stack
would work perfectly under this config. If you are a ware to any
problem in the opensm and/or the host stack
please let the community know and the maintainers will fix it.

CQ,

If by "the whole fabric is re-configured" you refer to a case where a
subnet prefix changes while a job runs and a process
is detached/reattached to the job  so now you want to adopt your
design to handle it, is over engineering, why you want to do that?
