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:

Copy
Copied!

            
            fabric_interface = ib0

Note

By default, fabric_interface is set to ib0
fabric_interface must be up and running before UFM startup. Otherwise, UFM will not be able to run.
