Specifying a SRP Target Port
The SRP target can be specified in two different ways. To connect to a particular
SRP target no matter where it is in the fabric, use the first method (By IOCGUID).
To connect to a SRP target that is in a certain chassis/slot, no matter which card it
is on (For FVIC, the user does not want to change the configuration, if cards are
switched in a slot) then use the second method.
1. By IOCGUID. For example:
targetIOCGuid: 0x00066A013800016c
2. By target IOC Profile String. For example:
targetIOCProfileIdString: "FVIC in Chassis
0x00066A005000010E, Slot 1, IOC 1"
NOTE
When using this method, if the port GUIDs are changed, they must also be
changed in the configuration file.
NOTE
When specifying the
targetIOCProfileIdString
, the string is case
and format sensitive. The easiest way to get the correct format is to cut
and paste it from the output of the
/usr/sbin/ib_qlgc_srp_query
program.
NOTE
For FVIC, by specifying the SRP Target Port by IOCGUID, this ensures
that the session will always be mapped to the specific port on this
specific VIO hardware card, even if the card is moved to a different slot
in the same chassis or even if it is moved to a different chassis.
NOTE
For FVIC, by specifying the SRP Target Port by Profile String, this
ensures that the session will always be mapped to the VIO hardware
card in the specific slot of a chassis, even if the VIO hardware card
currently in that slot is replaced by a different VIO hardware card.
