Hi Chase,
Glad it worked for you.
Regarding the question creating child interfaces here is the command to do that:
part_man is used to add/remove/show virtual IPoIB ports. Each Mellanox IPoIB port can have multiple virtual IPoIB ports, which can use the default PKey value (0xffff) or a non-default value
supplied by the user.
Usage
•-v: Increases verbosity level.
•show: Shows the currently configured virtual ipoib ports, along with PKey info.
•add: Adds new virtual IPoIB port. Where add should be used with interface name, as it appears in Network connection in the control panel.
•["Local area connection #"] parameter is the interface name from the Network section of Control Panel.
•[name] parameter: Any printable name without quotation marks (“ ”), commas, and starting with i.
•rem: Removes existing virtual IPoIB port. Get the port info with the 'show' command to pass as parameters. (Note: for interfaces using default PKey, the [pkey] parameter can be excluded).
•remall: Removes all virtual IPoIB ports.
Example
Adding and removing virtual port with default PKey:
part_man add "Ethernet 4" ipoib_4_1
Done...
> part_man show
Ethernet 6 ipoib_4_1 FFFF
> part_man rem "Ethernet 6" ipoib_4_1
Done
Adding and removing virtual port with non-default PKey:
> part_man add "Ethernet 5" ipoib_5_1 7123
Done...
> part_man add "Ethernet 5" ipoib_5_1 F123
Done...
> part_man show
Ethernet 7 ipoib_5_1 F123
> part_man rem "Ethernet 7" ipoib_5_1 F123
Done…
Adding a partial membership PKey value with the upper bit turned off:
> part_man add "Ethernet 5" ipoib_5_1 7123
Done...
The new port will use the partial PKey only in absence of a full membership PKey of the same value (0xf123 for the example above) in the OpenSM configuration. Otherwise the full membership
PKey will be chosen.
Note: Make sure that the PKeys used in the part_man commands are supported by the OpenSM running on this port and the membership type of them is consistent to the one defined by OpenSM. If the PKeys are not supported the new vIPoIB port will stay in a disconnected state until the configuration is fixed.
