Abstract
A method for managing a data movement operation includes: sending an API configuration to a producer of a first IHS to start implementing a request received from a user; enqueuing a descriptor into a descriptor ring; sending a doorbell signal to notify an SDXI function; fetching the descriptor; analyzing the descriptor to infer a source AKey table entry and a destination AKey table entry; analyzing the source AKey table entry to infer an RKey index and a source IP address index; analyzing the destination AKey table entry to infer a destination IP address index; verifying the SDXI function is allowed to access a source buffer of the first IHS; obtaining the data from the source buffer based on the source IP address index; and moving the data to a destination buffer of the second IHS using a TCP connection.
