You need to configure the "broadcast" group in the FFFF partition. What is the make and model number of the switch that you are using?

By the way, switches with built-in Subnet Managers that are running reasonably recent versions will automatically create the "broadcast" group for the FFFF partition. If you are using the OFED Subnet Manager running on a Linux server, it should also create the group for the FFFF partition. In all cases, if that is not happening automatically, there are commands through the management interface for the Subnet Manager that can be used to setup the "broadcast" group.

Dear all,

Recently we bought two new Sun IB HBA.
We have connected them to our X4600s.

So I ran cfg -yc configure for appropriate devices. But configuration failed ....

* bash-3.00# cfgadm -yc configure ib::3BA0001002952,ffff,ipib
*cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: configure operation failed ap_id: /devices/ib:fabric::3BA0001002952,ffff,ipib


How ever I got following message on "dmesg" ....

Nov 27 09:39:49 ex-4600-03 ibd: [ID 517869 kern.info] NOTICE: ibd0: HCA GUID 0003ba0001002950 port 2 PKEY ffff IPoIB broadcast group absent

Is it something wrong with my Switch configuration ??? Ple help to resolve this matter??

Thankx
Tharindu
