Configuring Fabric Interface
In most common cases, UFM is run in management mode; the UFM SM manages the InfiniBand fabric. In such cases, the only mandatory configuration is setting the fabric_interface parameter.
The fabric interface should be set to one of the InfiniBand IPoIB interfaces, which connect the UFM/SM to the fabric:
fabric_interface = ib0
By default,
fabric_interface
is set toib0
fabric_interface
must be up and running before UFM startup, otherwise, UFM will not be able to run
For additional configuration options, please refer to the UFM Enterprise Additional Configurations.
