OpenIB OpenSM now includes the OpenSM 1.8.0 functionality.
Major thanks go to Yael Kalka and Eitan Zahavi of Mellanox.
This is a complete merge of the osm-1.8.0-branch up through version
3368.
There are 2 known caveats with this so far:
1. Some Anafa ports cannot be brought to active if not most recent
firmware (5.3.3)
2. Solaris interoperability needs work again (I'm working on this)
New Features
Semistatic LID assignment
No LID change on SM restart or node reboot
Critical for IPoIB to avoid communication loss
Irresponsive port scan during light sweep
No response but Link state not down
Switch ports with HCA neighbor have lower HOQLife
Faster drain so bad HCA not impact subnet
Pkeys
Not reordered
Default values not set
DDR and QDR support
Options Cache
including all non command line
Use –c flag to create /var/cache/osm/opensm.opts
Kill –HUP
Forces a new full sweep
Bug Fixes
Overflow on SA queries (now drops them if overflow)
Multicast tree build took forever on large clusters
MTU and Rate selectors ignored during MCMemberRecord Query
Deleted multicast groups existing until deferred deletion
Crashed on any zero Port or Node GUID
SMInfo with a non default PKey was dropped
DDR and QDR rates were not calculated correctly
Fail to error Service Record delete of non-existing record
Memory leak in SA Client code
Multicast Join did not check for ‘JoinState != 0’
PortInfo SA query fail if base_lid component used
OpenSM runs out of MLIDs even though some groups were deleted
Complib race in Passive Lock caused a deadlock (now use rwlock)
Many more less severe bugs fixed
NOTE: The old OpenIB OpenSM is still available on the osm-pre-1.8.0
branch.
