[openib-general] Problems with OFED IPoIB HA on SLES10

[Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen)]

Vlad,
 
I filed a bug for these issues.
 
1) If I start IPoIB HA with ib0 IB port shut down (from IB switch) and
ib1 IB port enabled, then IPoIB does not work because "ip monitor link
all" does not report NO-CARRIER at startup like ipoib_ha.pl is looking
for.  This is a major hole.
 
2) /etc/init.d/openibd runs ipoib_ha.pl with its stdout and stderr
redirected to /dev/null, should we run with -v for verbose instead and
redirect log file to /var/log?
 
# fgrep ipoib_ha.pl /etc/init.d/openibd
                ipoib_ha.pl -p ${PRIMARY_IPOIB_DEV} -s
${SECONDARY_IPOIB_DEV} --
with-arping --with-multicast > /dev/null 2>&1 &

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?
 
# pwd
/etc/sysconfig/network
# cat ifcfg-ib0
DEVICE=ib0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.2.46
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
# cat ifcfg-ib1
DEVICE=ib1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.2.46
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
 
4) If I shutdown ib0 IB port, I see this from
"/usr/local/ofed/bin/ipoib_ha.pl -v --with-arping --with-multicast"
 
    Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/ofed/bin/ipoib_ha.pl line 287.
