configuration parameter impact Lustre in any way? My understanding is that LNET
is only using IPoIB for address resolution when using o2ib.
IPoIB MTU settings don''t affect Lustre/LNet in any way if the o2ib
driver is used. With recent Lustre releases, you can find out path
MTU of each IB connection used by LNet with:
lctl conn_list --net o2ib0, for example.
