Hi all,
we are trying to use a ConnectX-3 VPI adapter card over XenServer 6.2, for this we have followed the following steps:
1) Install XenServer 6.2 on my system (Supermicro 1027GR-TRF)
2) Install XenServer 6.2 updates (service pack 1) following the directions from http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX138115#XenServer 6.2
3) Install MLNX_OFED 2.1-1.0.6 and update firmware (./mlnxofedinstall --force-fw-update). Installation and update have been completed without errors. The firmware version is 2.30.8000.
After that, we have restarted the system and the openibd service but the InfiniBand network interfaces have not been detected:
[root@xenserver ~]# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
hostname: `Host' unknown
Unloading HCA driver: [ OK ]
Loading HCA driver and Access Layer: [ OK ]
Setting up InfiniBand network interfaces:
Setting up service network . . . [ done ]
I.e. the ib0 network interface has not been detected by the system.
Do you know if XenServer 6.2 works with ConnectX-3? Could you please get some information about that? We have devoted a lot of time and now we wonder whether it really works.
