Editing the VirtualNIC Configuration file
Look at the qlgc_vnic.cfg.sample file to see how VNIC configuration files
are written. This file can be found with the OFED documentation, or in the
qlgc_vnictools subdirectory of the QLogic OFED+ Host Software
download. You can use this configuration file as the basis for creating a
configuration file by replacing the destination global identifier (DGID),
IOCGUID, and IOCSTRING values with those of the EVIC/VEx IOCs
present on your fabric.
QLogic recommends using the DGID of the EVIC/VEx IOC, as it ensures the
quickest startup of the VNIC service. When DGID is specified, the IOCGUID
must also be specified. For more details, see the qlgc_vnic.cfg sample
file.
1. Edit the VirtualNIC configuration file, /etc/infiniband/qlgc_vnic.cfg.
For each IOC connection, add a CREATE block to the file using the following
format:
{CREATE; NAME="eioc2";
PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66A0130000105; INSTANCE=0; PORT=1; }
SECONDARY={IOCGUID=0x66A013000010C; INSTANCE=0; PORT=2;}
}
NOTE:
The qlgc_vnic.cfg file is case and format sensitive.
