Title: Re: [ofa-general] how do I take IB interfaces offline?
This is may be because you have the SM running. Try /etc/init.d/opensmd stop. If that doesn't work you'll want to find out what is actually using it. When you say RDMA, are you doing iSER or SRP? If that's the case, you'll need to free it up by removing it as a target or just unloading the modules.

Well, that would work, but it fails, telling me the mlx4_ib module is in use. I suspect this is because there are active RDMA connections on it, which is the reason I want to bring it down (I’m doing QA, I need to know what happens if the card goes offline).

Have you tried /etc/init.d/openibd stop, or are you wanting something that doesn't shut down the whole IB system?

how do I take IB interfaces offline? Hello, everyone. I wonder if anyone can tell me how to take an IB interface offline on a running Linux (CENTOS 5 with OFED 1.3.1) system? I can cause it to loose its IP address with ifdown but it seems that the IP address is only involved in establishing new connections and removing it doesn’t prevent the device from fielding traffic on established connections.
 
Does anybody know how this is done?
