Interesting.

I have a lot of stability issues with IPoIB in EL7. In Windows it’s works flawlessly, but on Linux is just unstable. So I never had the courage to put an hypervisor Storage network over IPoIB.

Are you using Mellanox OFED, or the upstream one?

The iSCSI is only through software? No RDMA involved? Aren’t the CPU being wasted in this scenario since Connect-X3 does not offload TCP/IP connections?

Finally the IPoIB mode is connected or dataram? Have you tunned the MTU settings?

Thanks,

Hi Vinicius, i'm sorry, I thought I had replied already.  

I'm mostly using IPoIB, but gluster is using some over RDMA.  I'm using it a few different ways,
5 IB nodes, all have dual port ConnectX-3 cards @ 40GB

2 nodes are running windows, one port on each is used for a sync channel for starwind Vsan to mirror ~20tb of date.  The second ports are using for iSCS sharing SMB fiile shares for other IB nodes.
3 nides are running CentOS 7 and ovirt.  One of the ports on each are used for gluster synchronzaton, gluster is set to use both IPoIB & RDMA.  Then the other ports are using for migratons, iSCSI sharing, and a backup admin channel.

Darkytoo have you received my message.

I’m really curious about your setup using Infiniband.

Thanks,
