The Voltaire switch provides a CLI command(s) for setting up the
broadcast group. The Voltaire switch should create the broadcast group
automatically for the "default" IB partition (0xffff).
Setting the broadcast group parameters is a fabric administration
responsibility because an individual node doesn't have tha global view.
However, if users prefer to have Solaris IPoIB driver create the group,
that can be considered. There is an IP over Infiniband

Hello
I found that Solaris IB stack doesn't create IPoIB broadcast group for
partition. When I put Linux host into this (0x7FFE) partition I can create IPIB
instance successfully
ib::3BA0001004181,ffff,ipib IB-VPPA connected configured ok
ib::3BA0001004182,fffe,ipib IB-VPPA connected configured ok
ib::3BA0001004182,ffff,ipib IB-VPPA connected configured ok
Linux IB stack creates IPoIB broadcast group for partition in case of it's absence, but Solaris IB stack doesn't. The switch vendor (Voltaire) told me that error on the HCA/host side - in the Solaris 10 IB stack. Is it true ?
