Fabric Manager Users Guide, Version 6.1, Revision A - QLogic

4–Virtual Fabrics
Configuration
NOTE:
The qlogic_fm.xml-sample configuration file contains many standard
preconfigured applications that are referenced in VirtualFabrics, which can
be created by the administrator.
NOTE:
InfiniBand standard mechanisms establish connections for the association
of applications to VirtualFabrics, by using the ServiceID in PathRecord SA
queries (for unicast applications) and the use of MGIDs in
McMemberRecord SA queries (for multicast applications).
Some unicast applications, notably openmpi, mvapich and mvapich2, use
nonstandard mechanisms to establish connections. Therefore, the unicast
applications will need to have their PKey and SL manually configured
consistent with the vFabric used.
