opensmd Daemon

Starts and stops the Subnet Manager.

Syntax

/etc/init.d/opensmd start|stop|status

Description

Like the opensm Command, the opensmd daemon initiates an instance of the OpenSM Subnet Manager. The daemon reads the /etc/opensm/opensm.conf configuration file upon startup, which it uses to configure the Subnet Manager. The opensmd daemon is more user-friendly because it is not necessary to provide elaborate command-line options and arguments.

The following table describes the more common parameters provided to the opensmd daemon in the /etc/opensm/opensm.conf file and their default values.

Parameter
Description
Default Value
guid
Port GUID on which the Subnet Manager is running.
0x0000000000000000
m_key
M_Key value sent to all ports qualifying all Set(PortInfo).
0x0000000000000000
m_key_lease_period
Lease period used for the M_Key in seconds.
0
sm_key
SM_Key value of the Subnet Manager used for authentication.
0x0000000000000001
sa_key
SM_Key value used to qualify received Subnet Administrator queries as trusted.
0x0000000000000001
subnet_prefix
Subnet prefix.
0xfe80000000000000
lmc
LMC value used on this subnet.
0
lmc_esp0
lmc_esp0 determines whether LMC value is used for enhanced switch port 0. If TRUE, LMC value for subnet is used for ESP0. Otherwise, LMC value for ESP0s is 0.
FALSE
packet_life_time
Maximum time a packet can live in a switch. Actual time is 4.096 usec * 2^packet_life_time. A value of 0x14 disables the mechanism.
0x12
vl_stall_count
Number of sequential packets dropped that cause the port to enter the VLStalled state. Do not set to 0.
0x07
leaf_vl_stall_count
Similar to vl_stall_count, this value is for switch ports driving a CA or router port. Do not set to 0.
0x07
head_of_queue_lifetime
Maximum time a packet can wait at the head of the transmission queue. Actual time is 4.096 usec * 2^head_of_queue_lifetime. A value of 0x14 disables the mechanism.
0x12
leaf_head_of_queue_lifetime
Maximum time a packet can wait at the head of the queue on a switch port connected to a CA or router port. Actual time is 4.096 usec * 2^leaf_head_of_queue_lifetime.
0x10
max_op_vls
Maximum operational virtual lanes.
5
force_link_speed
Force PortInfo:LinkSpeedEnabled on switch ports. Values are:
  • 0 – Make no change.

  • 1 – 2.5 Gbps

  • 3 – 2.5 Gbps or 5.0 Gbps

  • 5 – 2.5 Gbps or 10.0 Gbps

  • 7 – 2.5 Gbps or 5.0 Gbps or 10.0 Gbps

  • 2, 4, 6, 814 Reserved

Default is 15: set to PortInfo:LinkSpeedSupported

15
subnet_timeout
Subnet timeout for all the ports. Actual timeout is 4.096 usec * 2^subnet_timeout.
18
local_phy_errors_threshold
Threshold of local PHY errors for sending trap 129.
0x08
overrun_errors_threshold
Threshold of credit overrun errors for sending trap 130.
0x08
partition_config_file
Partition configuration file.
/etc/opensm/partitions.conf
no_partition_enforcement
Disable partition enforcement by switches.
FALSE

Deactivate the Subnet Manager.
FALSE

The following table describes the options to the opensmd daemon and their purposes:

Option
Purpose

stop
Terminates the OpenSM Subnet Manager.
status
Provides the status of the Subnet Manager.
Example

The following example shows how to start the Subnet Manager with the opensmd daemon.

# /etc/init.d/opensmd start
Starting IB Subnet Manager.                                [  OK  ]
