[openfabrics-ewg] OFED-1.0-rc6 is available

Fri Jun 9 08:32:16 PDT 2006

For RHEL4 U2, are there any messages on the console when openibd is run
at boot time?  If so, you might be hitting bug 42
(http://openib.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42).

We had lots of problems on RHEL4 U2, so gave up and are only testing on
RHEL4 U3.

	Hi Vlad:

	See below for the output. I performed following steps:
	1. After installing RC6 and configuring IB interfaces during the
install process, i rebooted the system.

	2. Then I did ifconfig ib0. It doesn't show the ip address
configured during install.

	3. After that I checked the status of openibd. It was running
fine and showing me ib0 and ib1 as active devices.

	4. Then I restarted openibd. After this restart, I was able to
see the IP address of ib0 and ib1 interfaces. 

	But after reboot we should see the IP addresses and should not
restart openibd everytime after reboot.
	Now if I again reboot the system, I will lose the ip addresses
of IB interfaces. I am able to reproduce it.

	Thanks,
	Karun

	Hi Karun,
	I can't reproduce this issue.
	Please try '/etc/init.d/openibd restart' and send me the output.

	Please check that ifcfg-ib0 located under /etc/sysconfig/network
on SuSE and
	under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on RedHat/Fedora.
	Thanks,

	Regards,
	Vladimir
