Just a last question : is that possible VFs lid to be different from
PF one ?

NO, we've implemented a "shared port" model, so all functions on the
same IB port use the same lid, each function has its own
virtual GUID though.

So if I don't use the unmaintained srptools to get the SRP connection
strings but instead send them directly to the initiator to connect to
the SRP target, then also SRP should be possible with the virtual GUID.
Am I right?

It would be appreciated it if someone would step forward and would 
propose to maintain the srptools package. In the meantime, an update for 
srptools 0.4 can be found here: http://github.com/bvanassche/srptools. 
The user-visible changes compared to version 0.4 are:
- srp_daemon keeps working even if the LID changes of the port it is
   using to scan the fabric or if a P_Key change occurs. In other words,
   it is no longer necessary to restart srp_daemon after an IB cable has
   been plugged.
- Added P_Key support to srp_daemon and ibsrpdm.
- Fixed month in srp_daemon.log (OFED bug #2281). srp_daemon now uses
   syslog and logrotate for logging.
- srp_daemon is now only started in InfiniBand ports. It is no longer
   attempted to start srp_daemon on Ethernet ports.
- Fixed a memory leak in srp_daemon that was triggered once during
   every fabric rescan.
- Reduced memory consumption of the srp_daemon process.
- srp_daemon skips now MAD transaction ID 0 after 2**32 rescans.
- Installation: SRPHA_ENABLE=no / SRP_DAEMON_ENABLE=no is only added to
   /etc/infiniband/openibd.conf if these variables did not yet exist in
   that file.
- Changed range of the srp_daemon and ibsrpdm exit codes from 0..127
   into 0..1.
- Changed ibsrpdm such that it uses RMPP.
- Changed ibsrpdm such that it uses the new umad P_Key ABI. Running
   ibsrpdm does no longer cause a warning to be logged ("user_mad:
   process ibsrpdm did not enable P_Key index support / user_mad:
   Documentation/infiniband/user_mad.txt has info on the new ABI").
- Fixed spelling of several help texts and diagnostic messages.

As usual, feedback is welcome.

Bart.
