Hi all,
Can anyone explain me what is the intended use of SystemImageGUID? I
f there any existing examples demonstrating the use of SystemImageGUID
please give me the pointers to those.
The idea of the SystemImageGUID is that you will have an indicators of
several nodes that exists in the same entity.
It is the same idea about NodeGUID and PortGUID:
All of the IB ports of the same device has the same NodeGUID but every
port has a different PortGUID.
If you have a big system (for example: a big switching system which
internally has several switch chips)
every node in the system will has a different NodeGUID but all of the
nodes in the system will have the same SystemImageGUID.
This helps the SM in the routing decisions.
