Hi list,
I am afraid I am stuck with a very stupid problem, and I am at my wit's ends.
I am deploying a set a blades loaded with ConnectX-3 VPI adapters. The
blades run under RHEL 6.3 and the connectors are driven using the
MLNX_OFED 1.5.3.3 stack.
When the ports are configured in IB (default), the physical state of
the ports is POLLING, which is expected since the adapters are
connected with Ethernet wires and switches:
$ ibstat
CA 'mlx4_0'
CA type: MT4099
Number of ports: 2
Firmware version: 2.10.2322
Hardware version: 0
Node GUID: 0x0002c90300f31160
System image GUID: 0x0002c90300f31163
Port 1:
State: Down
Physical state: Polling
Rate: 40
Base lid: 0
LMC: 0
SM lid: 0
Capability mask: 0x02514868
Port GUID: 0x0002c90300f31161
Link layer: InfiniBand
Port 2:
State: Down
Physical state: Polling
Rate: 40
Base lid: 0
LMC: 0
SM lid: 0
Capability mask: 0x02514868
Port GUID: 0x0002c90300f31162
Link layer: InfiniBand
But when I enable the ports as ETH, the physical state shows up as DISABLED:
$ ibstat
CA 'mlx4_0'
CA type: MT4099
Number of ports: 2
Firmware version: 2.10.2322
Hardware version: 0
Node GUID: 0x0002c90300f31160
System image GUID: 0x0002c90300f31163
Port 1:
State: Down
Physical state: Disabled
Rate: 40
Base lid: 0
LMC: 0
SM lid: 0
Capability mask: 0x00010000
Port GUID: 0x0202c9fffef31160
Link layer: Ethernet
Port 2:
State: Down
Physical state: Disabled
Rate: 40
Base lid: 0
LMC: 0
SM lid: 0
Capability mask: 0x00010000
Port GUID: 0x0202c9fffef31161
Link layer: Ethernet
Besides, ibportstate fails opening the port in ETH mode:
$ ibportstate -C mlx4_0 -L 0 -P 1 q
Finally, if that helps, when set in auto mode, the port configuration
stick with IB.
I went through any possible user guide without help. Any clue about
what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Xavier
