RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: corosync-2.3.2-2.el7 Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
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.
