Hi, I am new to RDMA and Mellanox equipment. Can anyone help me to confirm this thing, a connectX-5 VPI adapter card can be configured to work with InfiniBand and RoCE ? I currently don’t have enough budget, so I am a bit worried about buying the wrong adapter card. Thanks.
Hello Huangwentaochina,
Thank you for posting your inquiry on the NVIDIA Developer Forum - Infrastructure and Networking - Section.
Yes, you can change the port_type of the ConnectX-5 VPI to IB or Ethernet based on your evironment.
You can use the following link as a reference on how-to change the port_type → Changing Mellanox ConnectX VPI Ports to Ethernet or InfiniBand in Linux
The following link will give you a real life example → Changing Mellanox ConnectX VPI Ports to Ethernet or InfiniBand in Linux
Thank you and regards,
