Hi,

We are running a 2.6.17.10 kernel with rnfs patch and the stable iwarp-stack from openib. We'd like to installed MVAPICH2 that can use either IB or iWARP RDMA.  What are the exact instructions for building the package?  We are new at this so any help from you will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Helen

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Sorry to know that you are experiencing problem here. We are able to
run it sucessfully in our lab. Steve Wise is also able to run it.

I believe you are trying to use it with Chelsio adapter. I am
wondering whether your student took a detailed look at the MVAPICH2
0.9.8 user guide (available from mvapich page). It has a detailed set
of instructions on how to install and run MVAPICH2 with the iWARP
stack.

We will be happy to extend help here so that you can use MVAPICH2 with
the iWARP stack. May I request your student to send out a note to us
using our public `mvapich-discuss at cse.ohio-state.edu' mailing list
with the problems he is encountering and we will be happy to help.

Best Regards, 

DK
