Table 3-10. Sm Fabric Configuration Parameters (Continued)
Parameter
Default
Value
Description
QueryValidation 0 When 1, enables IBTA compliant SA query
operation for GetTable (PathRecord). As
such a SGID and NumbPath is required
When 0, allows interop with some
non-compliant OFED queries and permits
GetTable (PathRecord) to specify either a
SGID or SLID and defaults numbPath to
127 if not specified.
SmaBatchSize 2 This and the following two parameters control
how many concurrent SMA requests the
SM can have in flight while programming
the SMAs in the fabric.
EhcaSmaBatchSize 1 Max parallel reqs to ehca SMA
MaxParallelReqs 4 Max devices to req in parallel
SmaEnableLRDR 1 Controls use of mixed LID Routed (LR) and
Directed Routed (DR) SMPs during programming
of the fabric. The use of mixed
LR-DR SMPs can improve SM sweep time
and reduce the time for SM to respond to
fabric changes. All QLogic Host Channel
Adapters and Switches support LR-DR
SMPs.
It can have the following values
0 – SM will not use any mixed LR-DR SMPs
1 – SM will use mixed LR-DR SMPs.
2 – SM will attempt using mixed LR-DR
SMPs, but if a particular switch does not
respond to these SMPs, it will fallback to
using pure DR SMPs for initializing nodes
connected to that switch.
EhcaSmaEnableLRDR 0 Controls use of mixed LID Routed (LR) and
Directed Route (DR) SMPs during programming
of IBM eHCA Logical Switches
0 – never send a LRDR SMP to an IBM
eHCA Logical switch
1 – enable use of LRDR SMPs for IBM
eHCA Logical switches. This only has effect
when SmaEnableLRDR is 1 or 2.
