 Configuration is a real pain. On my Debian hosts, it's all in /etc/rc.local, which is gross. I haven't figured out how to do it on Ubuntu, since Netplan apparently has support for vxlan and IP over IB (IPoIB) now, I think. **We'll get there**. Configuration is a real pain.

-All the InfiniBand hardware I have is Mellanox FDR-generation, so, ConnectX-3, Connect-IB, and SX6005 IB-only switches. (Every time I think "the Ethernet version sure would be nice" I remind myself that I'd use InfiniBand mode anyway.)+All the InfiniBand hardware I have is Mellanox FDR-generation.
  
-For hardware support, Mellanox provides MLNX_OFED, an overlay for several distributions. Unfortunately, MLNX_OFED only supports Debian through 11, RHEL through 8, and Ubuntu through 20.04, **OR** ConnectX-4 or newer cards only. The drivers built into Linux still recognize and work with ConnectX-3 and Connect-IB, but the kernel drivers packaged won't even recognize the cards. They just show up as unclaimed PCI devices.+For hardware support, Mellanox provides MLNX_OFED, an overlay for several distributions.

-It's worth investigating other tools provided with MLNX_OFED to see if they offer compelling advantages over inbox versions. I'm not doing that right now because I suspect the Mellanox version of OpenSM is the only thing I actually //need//. It is possible to install OpenSM 5.7 from OFED 4.9. From this path run this command:+Old OpenSM has this annoying problem where, if the HCA goes away while OpenSM is running, it will start to spew into its logfile, and it will run the system out of disk space. I don't know when it got fixed, but as of August 2024 it doesn't do that anymore.

-I haven't tried large numbers of VFs. The hardware upper limit is 63 for Connect-IB and 127 for ConnectX-3. Any number of system components could impose lower limits. For example, my consumer boards that are SR-IOV capable can only have VFs on port 1, not on port 2; the EPYC server system can create VFs on both ports. I don't expect to need so many guests with IOV networking anyway... +I haven't tried large numbers of VFs. The hardware upper limit is 63 for Connect-IB and 127 for ConnectX-3.
