    Hello,

    I'm trying to dig up some information on Illumos (or Solaris) compatibility
    with the Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI HCA. From what I can gather, the Hermon
    driver (for 1st-gen ConnectX) may work with this hardware with tweaking,
    but I can't seem to confirm that.

    OmniOS is my server OS of choice (I have several systems running), but the
    necessity of a working IB fabric here has led me to implement a ZFS on
    Linux box for this particular purpose. I'm currently using LIO/targetcli to
    export block SRP targets, and I'm not happy with it at all. Really wishing
    I had Comstar for this.

    Anyone here using IB with OmniOS? Anyone aware of a roadmap or active
    development of new IB drivers? Why isn't there an Illumos OFED port
    happening? No interest? It's thriving on the Linux side of the world...

    Please don't lecture me on the merits of 10GbE/FC over Infiniband, I've
    heard it all. :-)

    Any insights or suggestions are very much appreciated!

    Best,
    Chris
