Feature: Drop Infiniband. Reason: Infiniband needs special hardware (cannot be emulated), stack (libraries) is not very stable (unsupportable) and speed achievement for High Availability is almost zero. Result (if any): Native support for IBA is dropped. Customer still can use IBA cards in 10 Gig Ethernet mode or use IP over IBA.

Description Jan Friesse 2013-09-16 15:19:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
Drop support for Infiniband.

Additional info:
Don't compile Infiniband support by default. Only native IBA is affected. Card in ethernet mode is not affected, because for cluster it is indistinguishable from any other Ethernet card.
