MPI over uDAPL
Some MPI implementations, such as Intel MPI and HP-MPI, can be run over
uDAPL. uDAPL is the user mode version of the Direct Access Provider Library
(DAPL). Examples of these types of MPI implementations are Intel MPI and one
option on Open MPI.
If you are running this type of MPI implementation, the
rdma_cm and rdma_ucm
modules will need to be loaded. To load these modules, use these commands (as
root):
# modprobe rdma_cm
# modprobe rdma_ucm
To ensure that the modules are loaded whenever the driver is loaded, add
rdma_cm and rdma_ucm to the OPENFABRICS_MODULES assignment in
/etc/sysconfig/infinipath.
Other Configuration: Changing the MTU Size
The Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) is set to 4K and enabled in the driver by
default. To change the driver default back to 2K MTU, add this line (as root) in
/etc/modprobe.conf (or in /etc/modprobe.conf.local on SLES):
options ib_ipath mtu4096=0
Restart the driver as described in “Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software”
on page 5-26.
Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software
The InfiniPath driver software runs as a system service, usually started at system
startup. Normally, you will not need to restart the software, but you may want to
after installing a new InfiniPath release, after changing driver options, or when you
are doing manual testing.
Use the following commands to check or configure the state. These methods will
not reboot the system.
NOTE:
Use sde1 rather than sde. See the mount(8) man page for more
information on creating mount points.
NOTE:
The switch must also have the default set to 4K.
