37 - Install an RDMA device
41   Testing has been performed using several Mellanox-based IB cards, the
44 - Install a Linux distribution and tools
51   distributions from Red Hat's Fedora Project (http://fedora.redhat.com/).
53 - Install nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater on the client
56   nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater (nfs-utils-1.1.1 was the first nfs-utils
58   recommend using nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater). To see which version of
61   .. code-block:: sh
63     $ /sbin/mount.nfs -V
66   you should install the latest version of nfs-utils.
77   .. code-block:: sh
79     $ ./configure --disable-gss --disable-nfsv4
81   To build nfs-utils you will need the tcp_wrappers package installed. For
84   After building the nfs-utils package, there will be a mount.nfs binary in
92   .. code-block:: sh
97   by the system mount command.
100       mount.nfs and therefore nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater is only needed
102       nfs-utils on the server. Furthermore, only the mount.nfs command from
103       nfs-utils-1.1.2 is needed on the client.
105 - Install a Linux kernel with NFS/RDMA
113 - Configure the RDMA stack
116   Device Drivers -> InfiniBand support, update the kernel configuration
123   If you are using InfiniBand, be sure to enable IP-over-InfiniBand support.
125 - Configure the NFS client and server
127   Your kernel configuration must also have NFS file system support and/or
129   options can be found under File Systems -> Network File Systems.
131 - Build, install, reboot
150   Build a new kernel, install it, boot it.
161 - Check RDMA Setup
167   .. code-block:: sh
179   .. code-block:: sh

214 - On the server system, configure the /etc/exports file and start the NFS/RDMA server.
229 --------------------------
231 - Load and configure the RDMA drivers
235   .. code-block:: sh
245 - Start the NFS server
250   .. code-block:: sh

273 - On the client system
278   .. code-block:: sh
282   Regardless of how the client was built (module or built-in), use this
