--with-usnic

Abort configure if Cisco usNIC support cannot be built.

- --with-verbs=<directory>
1197
- Specify the directory where the verbs (also known as OpenFabrics
1198
- verbs, or Linux verbs, and previously known as OpenIB) libraries and
1199
- header files are located. This option is generally only necessary
1200
- if the verbs headers and libraries are not in default
1201
- compiler/linker search paths.
1202
-
1203
- The Verbs library usually implies operating system bypass networks,
1204
- such as InfiniBand, usNIC, iWARP, and RoCE (aka "IBoIP").
1205
-
1206
- --with-verbs-libdir=<directory>
1207
- Look in directory for the verbs libraries. By default, Open MPI
1208
- will look in <verbs_directory>/lib and <verbs_ directory>/lib64,
1209
- which covers most cases. This option is only needed for special
1210
- configurations.
1211

1212
- --with-verbs-usnic
1213
- Note that this option is no longer necessary in recent Linux distro
1214
- versions. If your Linux distro uses the "rdma-core" package (instead
1215
- of a standalone "libibverbs" package), not only do you not need this
1216
- option, you shouldn't use it, either. More below.
1217
-
1218
- This option will activate support in Open MPI for disabling a
1219
- dire-sounding warning message from libibverbs that Cisco usNIC
1220
- devices are not supported (because Cisco usNIC devices are supported
1221
- through libfabric, not libibverbs). This libibverbs warning can
1222
- also be suppressed by installing the "no op" libusnic_verbs plugin
1223
- for libibverbs (see https://github.com/cisco/libusnic_verbs, or
1224
- download binaries from cisco.com).
1225
-
1226
- This option is disabled by default for two reasons:
1227
-
1228
- 1. It causes libopen-pal.so to depend on libibverbs.so, which is
1229
- undesirable to many downstream packagers.
1230
- 2. As mentioned above, recent versions of the libibverbs library
1231
- (included in the "rdma-core" package) do not have the bug that
1232
- will emit dire-sounding warnings about usnic devices. Indeed,
1233
- the --with-verbs-usnic option will enable code in Open MPI that
1234
- is actually incompatible with rdma-core (i.e., cause Open MPI to
1235
- fail to compile).
1236
-
1237
- If you enable --with-verbs-usnic and your system uses the rdma-core
1238
- package, configure will safely abort with a helpful message telling
1239
- you that you should not use --with-verbs-usnic.
