Appendix A
InfiniBand Fabric Details
This appendix provides more a more detailed description of the InfiniBand fabric
management.
InfiniBand Fabric Management Configuration and Operation Overview
Each subnet manager (SM) performs a
light
sweep of the fabric it is managing, every
10 seconds by default. The time interval by setting is in the
SWEEP
variable in the
opensm-ib0.conf
and
opensm-ib1.conf
configuration files located in the
/etc
directory.
Note:
SGI highly recommends that you do
NOT
change this variable.
If an SM detects a change in the fabric during a light sweep, such as, the addition or
deletion of a node, it performs a
heavy
sweep. The heavy sweep actually changes the
fabric configuration to reflect the current state of the system.
A sample
opensm-ib
x
.conf
configuration file is, as follows:
Example A-1
opensm-ib0.conf
and
opensm-ib.conf
