[ofa-general] Boot time detection of SRP devices

[Guy Coates]

Hi all,

I am trying to write an init script to do automatic discovery of SRP devices
during boot.

My current strategy is to run srp_daemon in one-shot mode early on in the boot
process (before LVM etc is started) and then start the srp_daemon in deamon mode
later on in the boot when / is read/write.

This works except for the case when an IB port is active but does not have any
SRP devices attached; if srp daemon in run in one-shot mode it hangs forever:

Can anyone suggest any workarounds?


srp_daemon  -o -e -c -n -i mlx4_0 -p 1
12/00/09 16:38:47 : bad MAD status (110) from lid 0
12/00/09 16:38:52 : bad MAD status (110) from lid 0
12/00/09 16:38:57 : bad MAD status (110) from lid 0
...

Cheers,

Guy
