UFM is a management platform using a user-space application for InfiniBand fabric management. This application is developed within the context of an open-source environment. This application serves as an InfiniBand Subnet Manager and a Subnet Administration tool.
The UFM Subnet Manager (SM) is a centralized entity running on the server that discovers and configures all the InfiniBand fabric devices to enable traffic flow throughout the fabric.
To view and configure SM parameters in the Subnet Manager tab, select the relevant tab according to the required configuration.
For more information, please refer to Appendix – Enhanced Quality of Service.
The SM Keys tab enables you to view the Subnet Manager Keys. You cannot change the configuration in this tab.

Field |
Description |
Default |
|
MKey |
A field that allows you to view or edit the M_Key value sent to all ports to qualify all the set (PortInfo). Authentication is performed by the management entity at the destination port and is achieved by comparing the key contained in the SMP with the key (the M_Key Management key) residing at the destination port. |
