InfiniBand network support

[jibey_jacob]

Does ESXi support InfiniBand networks? I would want to use VMWare's management software as well.

I plan to run Microsoft SBS2008 or EBS2008 on ESXi running over an InfiniBand network.

Thanks.

While this page seems to suggest that it is supported - http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/esx/esx_features.html

Networking. Use high performance networking such as 10 Gig E and Infiniband with VMware ESX 3.5 and VMware ESXi 3.5 for the most network intensive workloads

This KB article and thread state otherwise.
