ibmgmtd - InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter management daemon
/sbin/ibmgmtd
svc:/network/ib/ib-management:default
ipmgmtd is a system daemon that handles administrative events for InfiniBand Host Channel Adapters. It is controlled through the service management facility (SMF) service instance:
svc:/network/ib/ib-management:default
The ipmgmtd daemon is started automatically by the SMF service and should not be invoked directly. It does not constitute an administrative or a programming interface. Use the following command to start ibmgmtd:
svcadm enable svc:/network/ib/ib-management:default
Use the following command to stop ibmgmtd:
svcadm disable svc:/network/ib/ib-management:default
The administrative interface for managing InfiniBand HCA interfaces is through ibadm(1M).
The InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter configuration may be specified in a System Configuration Profile for use in an automated installation. In the example excerpt below, the hermon0 property group is used to switch on I/O Virtualization (iov) with a limit of 5 VHCAs. The hermon0-vhca0 property group adds a VHCA with default properties. Note that the "." in "hermon0.vhca0" name has been replaced with a "-". The hermon0-vhca0-port1 group specifies which pkeys to allow on port 1 of the VHCA. Port 2 which is not specified will use the default pkeys for the VHCA.
