<br>
I have a couple of questions about IPoIB loading and starting.<br>
<br>
1. It appears I need the following modules in this order:<br>
core/ib_client_query.ko<br>
core/ib_sa_client.ko<br>
ulp/ipoib/ib_ipoib.ko<br>
ulp/ipoib/ib_ip2pr.ko<br>
Any others ? I presume ib_pr2pr is needed. What happens if it is not
present ?</blockquote><br>
ib_ip2pr is not needed for normal operation. modprobe ib_ipoib
should pick up all the dependencies (if you have the modules installed in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`)<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">2. After all the above modules
are loaded, do I just configure the ib0/1 interfaces ?<br>
Something like:<br>
/sbin/ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
up</blockquote><br>
Yup.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Does anything else need to be
done before it should work (other than an SM bringing these links to
active) ?</blockquote><br>
It also depends what pkey your subnet manager uses for the IP network.
Sun's setup uses pkey 0x8001, so I need to setup a virtual NIC using the
ipoibcfg command.</font></blockquote><br>
I would have thought this would be part of the IP over IB driver.
Communicate with the SM to acquire the P_Key and then use that to perform
Arp / ND. Strange to require a command since this gets a bit
cumbersome when there are many nodes in the fabric.<br><br>
