<div class="">Hi Kevin,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You’ll definitely need to have tcp on the server interface used for the clients accessing Lustre over the gateway (really an InfiniBand-Ethernet bridge). I don’t know of any problem having both protocols (tcp and o2ib) on the same interface but
you could also add an alias or child interface (e.g., ib0:0 or ib0.8001) if you wanted to keep things separated.</div>
