Our very own cactus became the third ever author for ServeTheHome today with his How to Set up an Infiniband SRP target in Ubuntu 12.04. Congratulations on a job well done as I know it takes a lot of effort to sit and write up something to share with the broader community. Performance numbers are next on the docket and I think a few others are also working on items to share.

That should help quite a few folks who are interested in getting Infiniband setup in Linux but cannot find step-by-step guides. The big draw here is that low cost Mellanox MHEA28-XTC cards were used. They can generally be had for under $50 for dual port models.

Great read. I am going to try tonight since I have the C&Cs (cards & cables)

Infiniband is easy on Windows though.
