The Linux IB Communication Manager will always send MADs to QP1, rather than back to the originating QP. On Hermon, QP1 is by default handled by the embedded firmware. We can change this, but the cost is that we have to handle both QP0 and QP1 (i.e. we have to provide SMA as well as GMA service in software), and we have to use MLX queues rather than standard UD queues (i.e. we have to construct the UD datagrams by hand). There doesn't seem to be any viable way around this situation, ugly though it is.
gPXE README File gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification for network booting, with extensions to allow additional features such as booting via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE. In generally, gPXE is compatible with the industry-standard PXE specification, and also supports Etherboot .nbi file loading and some additional protocols and features. For more detailed information about gPXE, please visit our project website at: http://etherboot.org/ BUILDING gPXE IMAGE FROM SOURCE If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the Web, you can get gPXE and Etherboot ROM images made on demand from http://rom-o-matic.net/ If you would like to compile gPXE images from source, here are some tips. We normally compile gPXE images on x86, 32-bit Linux machines. It is possible to also use x86-64 machines. We use gcc compiler options to create 32-bit output. It is important to have the necessary software packages installed. A gcc-based toolchain is required. The following packages (at least) are required: - a gcc tool chain (gcc 3.x or gcc 4.x) - binutils - perl - syslinux - mtools To test your environment, cd to the "src" directory and type: make You should see a lot of output, and when it stops, the "bin" directory should be populated with gPXE images and object files. To learn more about what to build and how to use gPXE, please visit our project website at http://etherboot.org/ , particularly the "howto" section.
