rcopy — simple file copy over RDMA.

Synopsis

rcopy source server[:destination] [-p port]
rcopy [-p port]

Description

Uses sockets over RDMA interface to copy a source file to the specified destination.

Options

source

The name and path of the source file to copy.

server

The name or address of the destination server.

:destination

An optional destination filename and path.  If not given, the destination filename will match that of the source.

-p server_port

The server's port number.

Notes

Basic usage is to start rcopy on a server system, then run rcopy sourcefile servername.  The server application will continue to run after copying the file, but is currently single-threaded.

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.
