Hi folks:

Built OFED-1.2-rc4 on OpenSuSE 10.2, works fine as long as I turn of 32-bit build, and update to a 2.6.20 kernel. Installed the RPMs after build, and the system appears to be fine/well behaved. Is there a OFED-specific technique to have the ib0 interface configure at boot time, after drivers load? This might be distribution specific.

I created a file named /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib0 which contained

BOOTPROTO='static'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
USERCONTROL='no'
NETMASK='255.255.0.0'
IPADDR='10.1.32.2'
DEVICE='ib0'

Bringing the interface up with an 'ifconfig ib0 up' doesn't seem to assign the IP address and netmask to it.

Hence my question. Is there an OFED specific method of configuring this (e.g. a config file I need to edit/create), or is it distribution dependent?

If I force the issue with an ifconfig, it looks like it works fine. This is ok as a work around, and I can create an /etc/init.d/ib or similar to force the issue. I would prefer to do this "the right way", and if there is someone with guidance/pointers as to what that is, I would prefer to follow that.

Thanks.

Joe


Hi Joe,
You can do one of the following to set ib0 configuration from ifcfg-ib0:

* ifup ib0

* /etc/init.d/openibd restart

Vladimir
