NAME

       ibacm - InfiniBand communication management assistant

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/ib_acm.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Used to resolve remote endpoint information before establishing communications over InfiniBand.

NOTES

       Th  IB  ACM  provides scalable address and route resolution services over InfiniBand.  It resolves system network names and IP addresses to
       InfiniBand path record data using efficient mechanisms, including caching of data.

       The IB ACM provides information needed to establish a connection, but does not implement the communication management  protocol.   It  pro-
       vides  services	similar  to  rdma_getaddrinfo,	rdma_resolve_addr, and rdma_resolve_route using IB multicast.  The IB ACM does not require
       IPoIB or use standard naming services, such as DNS, and limits network communication, especially with  the  IB  SA.   The  ib_acme  utility
       assists in verifying what options of the ibacm service may be usable for the current fabric topology.

       Client  interactions with the ibacm service are done over sockets through a standard TCP connection.  The librdmacm abstracts this interac-
       tion.

RETURN CODES

       == 0   success

       != 0   error

NAME

       ibcm - Solaris InfiniBand Communication Manager

DESCRIPTION

       The  Solaris InfiniBand Communication Manager (IBCM) is a Solaris kernel misc module that adheres to the InfiniBand Architecture Specifica-
       tion, Volume 1: Release 1.1 for InfiniBand Communication Management Class.

       IBCM provides a transport layer abstraction to IB clients to set up reliable connected channels along with  service,  multicast,  and  path
       lookup-related  functionality.  IBCM implements the CM protocol as per the InfiniBand Architecture Specification, Volume 1: Release 1.1 and
       utilizes the InfiniBand Management Framework module for all IB management-related functionality and the	InfiniBand  Transport  Layer  (see
       ibtl(7D)) for all IB Verbs-related functionality.
