Hello,
Following the QoS experiments I carried out yesterday, I wanted to set
up 3 IP networks, each one bound to a particular pkey, in order to
achieve QoS for each network.
Unfortunately, it seems that something is not mapped properly in the ULP
layers (vlarb tables are fine).
The settings are as follows:
opensm.conf:
------------
qos_max_vls 8
qos_high_limit 1
qos_vlarb_high 0:0,1:0,2:0,3:0,4:0,5:0
qos_vlarb_low 0:8,1:1,2:1,3:4,4:0,5:0
qos_sl2vl 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
The corresponding VLArb tables are fine on both the server (pichu16) and
the client (pichu22):
[r...@pichu22 network-scripts]# smpquery vlarb -D 0
# VLArbitration tables: DR path slid 65535; dlid 65535; 0 port 0 LowCap

# High priority VL Arbitration Table:

[r...@pichu16 ~]# smpquery vlarb -D 0

partitions.conf:
---------------
default=0x7fff,ipoib : ALL=full;
ip_backbone=0x0001,ipoib : ALL=full;
ip_admin=0x0002,ipoib : ALL=full;
qos-policy.conf:
---------------
qos-ulps
default : 0 # default SL
ipoib, pkey 0x7FFF : 1 # IP with default pkey 0x7FFF
ipoib, pkey 0x1 : 2 # backbone IP with pkey 0x1
ipoib, pkey 0x2 : 3 # admin IP with pkey 0x2
end-qos-ulps
Assigned IP addresses (in /etc/hosts):
-------------------------------------
10.12.1.4 pichu16-ic0 # default IPoIB network, pkey 0x7FFF
10.13.1.4 pichu16-backbone # IPoIB backbone network, pkey 0x1
10.14.1.4 pichu16-admin # IPoIB admin network, pkey 0x2
10.12.1.10 pichu22-ic0 # default IPoIB network, pkey 0x7FFF
10.13.1.10 pichu22-backbone # IPoIB backbone network, pkey 0x1
10.14.1.10 pichu22-admin # IPoIB admin network, pkey 0x2
Note that the netmask is /16, so the -ic0, -backbone and -admin networks
cannot see each other.

Iperf servers on server side:
-----------------------------
Quoting from iperf help:
-B, --bind <host> bind to <host>, an interface or multicast address
-s, --server run in server mode
Each iperf server is bound to a dedicated interface as follows:
[r...@pichu16 ~]# iperf -s -B pichu16-backbone
[r...@pichu16 ~]# iperf -s -B pichu16-admin
[r...@pichu16 ~]# iperf -s -B pichu16-ic0
Iperf clients on client side:
-----------------------------
Quoting from iperf help:
-c, --client <host> run in client mode, connecting to <host>
-t, --time # time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
And each iperf client talks to the corresponding iperf server:
[r...@pichu22 ~]# while test -e keep_going; do iperf -c pichu16-ic0 -t
100 2>&1; done | grep Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 64.6 GBytes 5.55 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 64.5 GBytes 5.54 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 60.5 GBytes 5.20 Gbits/sec
[r...@pichu22 ~]# while test -e keep_going; do iperf -c pichu16-backbone
-t 100 2>&1; done | grep Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 64.8 GBytes 5.57 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 56.7 GBytes 4.87 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 59.7 GBytes 5.13 Gbits/sec
[r...@pichu22 ~]# while test -e keep_going; do iperf -c pichu16-admin -t
100 2>&1; done | grep Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 57.3 GBytes 4.92 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 61.6 GBytes 5.29 Gbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-100.0 sec 62.7 GBytes 5.38 Gbits/sec
Given the VLarb weights assigned (1 for *-ic0 on VL1, 1 for *-backbone
on VL2 and 4 for *-admin on VL3), we would expect different b/w figures
for the *-admin network.
As we can see, all iperf values are the same, showing that QoS is not
enforced on a per pkey basis.
It seems to me that something is not mapped properly in the ULP layers.
Could anyone tell me if I'm wrong here ? If not, is that a known issue ?
Thanks for your help,
Vincent
