Hi there,
we are going to build a pilot project for a customer and would like to use DSS.
Scenario is as follows:
2 ESX 3.5 on Supermicro with IB card 4x DDR - 1 Storage Box with Mellanox IB Card 4x DDR
1 Flextronics IB switch managed (no subnet manager)
Questions:
1) Subnet manager: does DSS support subnet manager ?
2) IB access: is access via RDMA supported in DSS ? (no iSCSI over IB)
3) Mellanox cards: their are not in the HCL; nevertheless their make the chips for all other vendors. Should it work ?
4) Could you support us on this ? (our aim is to build a reference platform as OEM and then place it on the market); we could sign an OEM agreement.
5) Any other "suggestions" ?
Thanks in advance.
