HI All,
I’ve certainly had some issues with SRP operationally.
- No Windows support
- Vmware also don’t support on ESX 6 plus
- Clean disconnects from ESX5 and Linux SRP clients seems almost impossible
My question really is if SRP as a protocol isn’t really being developed or focused on what should be the replacement protocol ?
My requirements are:
- RDMA
- Block devices
- Target will be either Solaris or Linux
- Infiniband fabric (40G fabric, with some connectx2 but mostly connectx3)
- Linux clients
- Vmware clients (ESX 6 plus)
- Windows (a nice to have)
Regards, Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Multiple Storage protocols are available (iser,srp,nvmeof,nfsovrdma) though some protocols my not be supported based on the OS/Kernel/Driver implemented (Mellanox OFED Driver).
The RN of our driver needs to be consulted in order to have a clarification about the OS/Kernel/Protocols supported.
Can you please provided additional information on your current deployed environment?
OS/Kernel/Driver version on the initiator side & target side
Any virtualization? If yes, SRIOV or PV as well as the OS/Kernel/Driver on the VM’s
What is the backend Storage device vendor & model?
For all related Oracle Solaris questions, please refer to Oracle as we do not provide a driver for Solaris.
Regards,
Sophie.
