I am investigating setting up Quality of Service parameters on an Infiniband fabric. The specific goal is to reduce the bandwidth which certain servers can use, ie if there are untested or development codes running on these servers in our cluster then they cannot adversely affect production users. I hope I do not show too much of my ignorance here.
Perhaps out of date, but I find that Lustre does have a facility for setting the port range and hence associating with an ULP in Infiniband http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg02150.html https://community.mellanox.com/thread/3660 (There. I said the L word. Is a quick soaping to the mouth needed?) Can anyone comment what the Infiniband Service ID for GPFS traffic is please? If the answer is blindingly obvious and is displayed by a Bat signal in the clouds above every datacenter containing GPFS then I am suitably apologetic. If it is buried in a footnote in a Redbook then a bit less apologetic. If you are familiar with Appendix A of the IBTA Architecture Release then it is truly a joy. -- The information contained in this communication and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged, and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
