[Lustre-discuss] Lustre Client using 10GigE iWarp

Hi,

I have a Lustre filesystem where all servers and clients are using DDR IB
interconnects.  Customer wants to add an additional client which has a 10
GigE interface that they want to use to connect to the filesystem.

The Lustre documentation says that iWarp interfaces are supported using OFED
drivers.  What would the syntax of the modprobe.conf.local file look like?

I have tried this:

options lnet networks=o2ib(eth2)

Is that correct?

The client is connected to the IB fabric using a Voltaire 10 GigE line card
on a IB switch.  Has anyone tested such a configuration?  Should I expect it
to work?

Thanks,
