rdma_server(1)

rdma_server1

Simple rdma cm connection and ping-pong test.

Usage

rdma_server [-p port]

Overview

Uses synchronous librdmam calls to establish an RDMA connections between two nodes. This example is intended to provide a very simple coding example of how to use RDMA.

Options

-s server_address

Specifies the address that the rdma_server listens on. By default the server listens on any address(0.0.0.0).

-p port

Changes the port number that the server listens on. By default the server listens on port 7471.

Notes

Basic usage is to start rdma_server, then connect to the server using the rdma_client program.

Because this test maps RDMA resources to userspace, users must ensure that they have available system resources and permissions. See the libibverbs README file for additional details.
