This section describes how to configure LNET as an InfiniBand network.

OFED InfiniBand Options

For the SilverStorm/Infinicon InfiniBand Lustre network driver (iiblnd), the network and HCA may be specified as:

options lnet networks="o2ib3(ib3)"

In this example the node specified is on o2ib network 3 using HCA ib3.


To configure LNET as an InfiniBand network see the example below.

For the SilverStorm/Infinicon InfiniBand Lustre Network Driver (iiblnd), the network and HCA can be specified by entering:

options lnet networks="o2ib3(ib3)"

The node specified is on o2ib network 3 using HCA ib3.

InfiniBand connectivity can be achieved using commands and options provided by the OFED InfiniBand software suite <link to where it can be downloaded> provides commands and options to monitor and control aspects of the InfiniBand fabric. These commands are installed on and run from the Linux InfiniBand host.
