<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi Vlad:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>See below for the output. I performed
following steps:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. After installing RC6 and configuring
IB interfaces during the install process, i rebooted the system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Then I did ifconfig ib0. It
doesn't show the ip address configured during install.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. After that I checked the
status of openibd. It was running fine and showing me ib0 and ib1 as active
devices.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Then I restarted openibd. After this
restart, I was able to see the IP address of ib0 and ib1 interfaces.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>But after reboot we should see the IP
addresses and should not restart openibd everytime after reboot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now if I again reboot the system, I
will lose the ip addresses of IB interfaces. I am able to reproduce
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
