Configuring the Oracle SPARC SuperCluster InfiniBand Switches to Add the ZFS Storage Appliance
1.
Log on to the Oracle SPARC SuperCluster InfiniBand spine switch as root. By
default, the spine switch is given a hostname of <sscid>sw- ib1, where <sscid> is
the prefix name given to the entire Oracle SPARC SuperCluster system. In the
following example, the <sscid> is aiessc.
login as: root
root@aiesscsw-ib1's password:

2.
Enter the command enablesm to verify that the switch is running Subnet Manager
(or this command will start Subnet Manager).
[root@aiesscsw-ib1 ~]# enablesm
opensm (pid 15906) is already running...
Starting partitiond daemon
/usr/local/util/partitiond is already running
(You may also perform a 'restart' if wanted)
3.
Enter the command getmaster to verify that this is the master switch of the
configuration. If the master switch is not running on the spine switch, log out
and log in to the designated master switch for the remainder of this procedure.
[root@aiesscsw-ib1 ~]# getmaster
Local SM enabled and running
20130913 10:16:51 Master SubnetManager on sm lid 13 sm guid
0x2128e8ac27a0a0 : SUN DCS 36P QDR aiesscsw-ib1.us.oracle.com
[root@aiesscsw-ib1 ~]#
4.
Back up the switch configuration according the documented backup procedures
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26698_01/index.html (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/
E26698_01/index.html)).
5.
Enter the command smpartition list active to verify that partition key 0x0503
is assigned to partition name "sto" (sto = 0x0503).<br/> The partition key was
set to 8503 on the ZFS Storage Appliance datalinks, but the InfiniBand switch
reports 0503. This is intentional because the InfiniBand protocol reserves the
most significant bit (0x8000) of the hexadecimal partition key (pkey) for its own
use. Therefore, pkeys 0x8503 and 0x0503 are the same.
