[Linux_hpc_swstack] IB-related bug reports / enhancement requests
Hello,
Based on some experimentation I did today, I''d like to make the
following Infiniband-related bug reports and feature requests:
Bug Reports:
* OpenSM doesn''t work with chkconfig, because of a missing
chkconfig line in /etc/init.d/opensmd. This means you can''t
simply start a subnet manager as expected with ''chkconfig
opensmd on && server opensmd start''.
* IPoIB interfaces default to on and DHCP on the node that the
distro/stack is initially installed on.
See /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib[0-1]. This is not a
sane default for a node that will be the DHCP server. Further,
sunhpc_setup refuses to run, with out-of-the-box ifcfg-ib[0-1],
due to missing directives like IPADDR, NETMASK, NETWORK etc.
Feature Requests:
* OFED 1.3.1 or greater. I''m going to be running this stack on a
large IB-based machine with a non-traditional network topology.
This machine will require SM routing capabilities and IPoIB
performance that aren''t present in the OFED v1.2.5.5 that
you''re
currently shipping.
* I need a DHPCd that''s patched to support Infiniband. It would
be very nice for this to be available out-of-the-box. See the
patches available here:

Thanks,
-Matthew
