setsmpriority Command

Sets the Subnet Manager priority.

Syntax

setsmpriority priority|list

where priority is a number from 0 (lowest) to 13 (highest).

Description

This hardware command sets the priority of the Subnet Manager within the management controller. You use this command when there are multiple Subnet Managers in the InfiniBand fabric. By setting a Subnet Manager to a higher priority than another Subnet Manager, it becomes the primary (or Master) Subnet Manager. When you set a Subnet Manager to a priority lower than another Subnet Manager, it becomes the secondary Subnet Manager. The list option provides a listing of the Subnet Manager settings in respect to priority, controlled handover, and subnet prefix.

The setsmpriority command writes the value of priority to the sm_priority parameter of the configuration file.

The setsmpriority command is available from the /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell target of the Oracle ILOM CLI interface.

Example

This example shows how to set the priority of the Subnet Manager to 5 using the setsmpriority command.

# setsmpriority 5
Current SM settings:
smpriority 5
controlled_handover FALSE
subnet_prefix 0xfe80000000000000
M_Key None
#

This example shows how to display the current settings of the Subnet Manager priority, controlled handover, subnet prefix, and M_Key value, with the list argument of the setsmpriority command.

# setsmpriority list
smpriority 0
controlled_handover FALSE
subnet_prefix 0xfe80000000000000
M_Key None
#
