Re: [Xen-users] XEN + OpenFabrics + Infiniband

[Joseph Glanville <joseph.glanville@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Currently there is no PV support for Infiniband despite numerous efforts (Xen-IO, etc) to do so in the past.
However in the upcoming OFED 1.5.3 release I think Mellanox is publishing their firmware and drivers for SR-IOV which will allow you to use PCI-Passthrough to allow guests to access the Infiniband network natively.

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if any effort has been made regarding supporting
infiniband devices
to support I/O Virtualization, RDMA etc..? If so, can you please
direct me to the
latest documentation.

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.
