Sure but as of last night SRP was working fine between Solaris and ESXi so it seems to work fine at that level. Having to run IB connectivity to Windows much slower seems quite a poor situation.
I may have to try CentOS rather than Solaris as there are a number of reports that people have SRP running between Linux and Windows. That will be a shame as getting a bit more Solaris knowledge was an upside, the other being ZFS but as that is now ceritifed for Linux prod use it is not such a big issue.
If anyone knows of a top level protocal that works well with IB on Solaris, Windows and ESXi and is able to achieve near 20Gbps speeds then I would be grateful.
This project has turned in to a bundle of frustration as far as Windows support is concerned. I will check the logs on Soaris and Event viewer on Windows to see if I can track the issue down any further tonight.
