Hey All<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering if someone who has been using IB in their lab has any good advice for someone just starting to integrate IB into their ZFS environment. I have Connect-X (HCA) Card put into the host ( i do have a CX3 but i have heard its not natively supported
and there were issues with the drivers) what i am looking for is this</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Any Best Practices for using IPoIB with OmniOS?</div>
<div> Should i use the Stock drivers build into solaris (are there different ones that work better more stable?)</div>
<div> Are there Management tools i can install to run further tests?</div>
<div> Any other Guidelines you might recommend.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What i am going to attempt is my 3 ESXI hosts have CX-3 (VPI Pro Cards) connected to a SX6012 Switch i have a CX4 to QSFP cable coming to hook it into the switch and wanted to see if there would be any problems (yes the CX card is 20Gb/s) but this is the
best i can offer it based on the drivers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anything someone might see as an issue (Gonna try iSCSI/NFS with This method direct lines to the hosts) uses CIFS on the 1Gb Ether. </div>
