I am looking to connect a voltaire 4036 qdr switch to a catalyst 6500. i have 2 10g ports open and would like to use a cx4 to qsfp cable to link the 2 to allow shares to be accessed from the infiniband network. Should I use the switch subnet manager or run a different one.

Right now it's just 2 zfs servers connected to a couple esxi servers

Would love to know what you all recommend. Will this work, should I just leave it as a storage fabric. Would love to have all those fast ports to use for traffic other than storage traffic.

Also am trying to make the move from infiniband over ip to srp. I am struggling with getting this working. I am currently using omnios with connectx-2 cards. Is this worth the trouble with vmware?

Thanks in advance.
