If I fail back and forth between ib0 and ib1 every 30 seconds or so for
several hours, while IPoIB traffic is running, IPoIB host gets an Oops:
and IPoIB stops working.

	Cc: EWG; openib-General
	Subject: Re: [openib-general] [openfabrics-ewg] Problems with
OFED IPoIB HA on SLES10
	
	
	Vlad, thaks for the fast response.  I have some followup
questions about configuring IPoIB HA, see below.
	

	                3) I got IPoIB HA working on SLES 10, but the
documentation is a little lacking.   Looks like I have to put the same
IP address in ifcfg-ib0 and ifcfg-ib1, is this correct?
	               
	
	        Yes, IP address should be the same. Actually the
configuration of the secondary interface does not matter.
	        The High Availability daemon reads the configuration of
the primary interface and migrates it between the interfaces in case of
failure.
	       
	       
	If I don't have an ifcfg-ib1 file, then ipoib_ha.pl won't start.

	If I don't have an ifcfg-ib1, then ipoib_ha.pl won't start.  I
would prefer to not configure ifcfg-ib1 since I don't plan to use it.

	# ipoib_ha.pl --with-arping --with-multicast -v
	Can't open conf /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib1: No such file
or directory
	Can't open conf /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib1: No such file

	Can't open conf /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib1: No such file
or directory
	Can't open conf /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib1: No such file
or directory
	...

	If I put different IP addresses in ifcfg-ib0 and ifcfg-ib1, then
the ifcfg-ib1 IP address is used for both ib0 and ib1!

	# pwd
	/etc/sysconfig/network
	# cat ifcfg-ib0

	          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:304 (304.0 b)

	Notice how both ib0 and ib1 have the IP address from ifcfg-ib1.
This contradicts this info from ipoib_release_notes.txt:

		   b.   The ib1 interface uses the configuration script
of ib0.
