    How to bridge Infiniband and Ethernet utilizing a Homebrew router

    Thank you for the information. I now have a better idea of how to approach this. Hopefully my next post will be one of success. I am going to do some reading on opensm. If I am using a dedicated machine to act at the IB gateway, is there any other software you would recommend? And just to...

    How to bridge Infiniband and Ethernet utilizing a Homebrew router

    For me, I was thinking about getting a 100GB IB switch since all my machines have 100GB IB interfaces.

    How to bridge Infiniband and Ethernet utilizing a Homebrew router

    If I were to proceed however, I would only need to forward packets from the IB interface to the ETH interface on the router using netplan routing feature specifying the appropriate interfaces - especially given the fact that the router already has net.ipv4.ip_forward flag enabled, correct...

    How to bridge Infiniband and Ethernet utilizing a Homebrew router

    Thank you for your reply. I will be using a fair amount of Samba, so I thought learning about IB would be worthwhile. I guess I have three questions: 1) When you say using ip_forward, is it in the sense that a linux router would forward packets, ie sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward? and would I...

    LSI Storage Authority and Ubuntu 20.04 problems

    I did not have any issue like that. I did not re-install. I just did a hard reboot for another issue, and was then able to log in. Unfortunately the server is in New Orleans which has lost power so I cannot physically go to check on it. When It reboots it should hopefully still be working...

    LSI Storage Authority and Ubuntu 20.04 problems

    I had the exact same problem. Are you trying to upgrade from a previous version? What helped for me was to manually uninstall all deb packages and delete all directories by following the commands in the uninstall script. Then run the uninstall_DEB script again. Do both as root. I made sure...

    Has anybody tried the SuperMicro 846 passive backplane with SAS 12Gb/s ?

    In response to your question about the bpn-sas-846A. per supermicro, this board is compatible with SAS (3gb/s) and SAS2 (6Gb/s). What about SAS3 (12gb/s)? Well I haven't had a chance to to test the speeds but I just bought a SC846 36 bay behemoth from eBay. So I thought... I really want SAS3...
