[lustre-discuss] Lustre and OFED

[E.S. Rosenberg]

Hi all,

How 'needed' is OFED for Lustre? In the LUG talks it is mentioned every
once in a while and that got me thinking a bit.

What things are gained by installing OFED? Performance? Accurate traffic
reports?

Currently I am using a lustre system without OFED but our IB hardware is
from the FDR generation so not bleeding edge and probably doesn't need OFED
because of that....

Thanks,
Eli

Tech specs:
Servers: CentOS 6.8 + Lustre 2.8 (kernel from Lustre RPMs)
Clients: Debian + kernel 4.2 + Lustre 2.8
IB: ConnectX-3 FDR
