Infiniband ibsrp

[chief]

Hi
As I found, you stopped to support Infiniband ibsrp. Can you say what was the last version that supported it?
Thanks

Hello,

We stopped supporting Infiniband networking in 4.5.0.148 back in 2018. We recommend using network cards that are ethernet enabled.

Hi
Thanks for response.
Few questions.
1) Is it possible to download the 4.5.0.148 version for some our internal tests?
2) Which version of SCST was used in 4.5.0.148?
3) What was the reason to stop to work with IBSRP? Low demand or technical problems?
We just have a ConnectX-3 based system that we can't replace. And we are looking for the best solution for connecting SDS. Pure iSCSI is slow and ISER is not supported by Vmware on these adapters...IBSRP looks like the best solution for us at this stage...

Hi
Any success?
Thanks

Hello,

We're sorry, but we cannot provide links to that version. We recommend customers use the latest version of QuantaStor.

Hi
Thanks for the quick response and recommendation. Unfortunately, this recommendation is useless, as I wrote it is very important for me to try to run ibsrp, which is not in the latest version.
At least the documentation on the old version is available somewhere? Is it possible to configure ibsrp from the web interface? Where exactly is the working scst.conf configuration file located? The one I see in /etc is empty..
I would be very grateful for any help and information. Thank you

Hello,

Sorry that our response is not useful for you. We dropped support for Infiniband, and have no current plans to reintroduce it to the product.

We recommend that all community users use the latest version of QuantaStor.

We do support putting the Infiniband card into IPoIB mode. You and use the card that way with QuantaStor in the latest version. We deperated support for iSER and SRP in fabour of NVMeOF.
