Re: [Xen-users] Xen and the InfiniBand

[Casper <kl@xxxxx>]

Hi,

Me too use supermicro twin servers to run Xen on Ubuntu/Debian and 
wanted to take advantages to use Infiniband to use external storages. 
Maybe even possible to boot it from there diskless? :)
Any development and success story will be match appreciated.
Thanks!

Casper
