=Infiniband, SRP Target and Ubuntu Lucid=
This Wiki will describe how to setup an Infiniband based SRP target on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04).
==A Word of Warning==
Configuring, designing and implementing an Infiniband based setup is not for the faint-hearted. It will take days or even weeks to understand its quirks, bottlenecks, complexities and you'll even end up doubting yourself why you had chosen Infiniband instead of 10GB ethernet.
==Before we jump ahead==
First of all: Check your BIOS settings! You may end up with really bad PCIe performance if not configured properly. Especially server boards tend to be configured very conservatively. "Optimized Defaults" may be your friend but your mileage may vary.
Ubuntu already has the most needed packages from OFED 1.4.2 (openfabrics.org) but sadly lacks some management and diagnostic utilities needed for an Infiniband setup.
You may try installing Debian packages which are also based on OFED 1.4.2: http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed-1.4.2/
==Where do I get the appropriate Ubuntu packages?==
You can find patched Kernels and SCST-Admin in this PPA:
