More details below.Īll systems must run the latest CentOS 7, 64 bit (updated to the latest bug fix release).
The Lending and Borrowing functionality may have different trade-offs and requirements. The functionality is currently available with Dolphins PXH810, PXH830, PXH840 and MXH830 adapter cards.Īll systems connected to the PCIe network can concurrently both offer devices (Lending side) or borrow devices (Borrow side).
#Dolphin 5.0 memory card slot b driver
Both sides must be running Dolphins eXpressWare driver DIS 5.5.0 or newer and have the Dolphin SMART-IO module installed and configured. The Lending and borrowing side will have different system requirements depending on the type of device and required functionality. Will return a previously borrowed device. The devices can be referenced using the displayed. Will show all devices that is offered to be borrowed and if the device is available on unavailable. (Device can be used by the local system.) A bind will be performed on the local device to load the default device driver. (Device no longer available for local use.)ĭisable remote systems from using the device. A unbind will be performed on the local device driver. Domain is optional.)Įnable remote systems to use the device. The lending side offers all connected systems to see the the specified device. This command must be repeated for all systems that want to borrow a device from the local host. The local host offers the specified system (identified by the NodeId) to borrow devices.

The SMART-IO software and eXpressWare software must be installed and configured prior to using these commands. The table below lists the essential Device Lending commands needed to make a device available to systems on the PCIe network (Lend out) and use (Borrow) a device on a remote system. The Device Lending software does not require any changes to transparent devices or to the Linux kernel.ĭevices that are borrowed, will be inserted into the local device tree and the transparent device driver for the device will receive a hot add event to signal that the new resource is available.
PCIe devices borrowed from a remote system can be used as if they were local devices until they are given back. The device lending software is very flexible and does not require any boot order or power on sequencing. These tools can be used directly or integrated into any other higher level resource management system. The Dolphin Device Lending software enables this process to be controlled using a set of command line tools and options. When use of the device is completed, the device can be borrowed by other systems on the network or it can be returned to local use where it is physically located. Devices can be made available to systems on the network and can be temporarily borrowed by any system as long as it is required.
