In addition, set the root_guid config file

For example: set in opensm.conf:

Code Block
root_guid_file /etc/opensm/root_guid.cfg

Create a file:

Code Block
# cat root_guid.cfg

0xb8599f0300df8faa #thor-qm8790-S2

Enable AR per SL

By default all SLs are enabled with AR is enabled. To set AR enabled per SL, set the following bitmap parameter:

In the following example AR is disabled on SL0 and SL2.

Code Block
ar_sl_mask 0xFFFA # A=0x1010 SL1, SL3 enabled with AR

UCX Support

FW 12.29.0356 added support for ooo_sl_mask per vport that’s now used by UCX.

With that, UCX has a way to request AR support. It could be done using UCX_IB_AR_ENABLE={ yes | no | try}. The default value is “try”.

  • UCX_IB_AR_ENABLE=yes strictly selects SL with AR, if there no SLs with AR, it fails UCX

  • UCX_IB_AR_ENABLE=try selects SL with AR, if there no SLs with AR, it selects the first available (or specified by UCX_IB_SL=<sl>)

  • UCX_IB_AR_ENABLE=no strictly selects SL without AR, if there no SLs without AR, it fails UCX

 

Specific SL still could be specified by user through UCX_IB_SL=[0..15]

If the UCX_IB_AR_ENABLE=yes/no was asked on old FW, it fails UCX since UCX is not able to detect ooo_sl_mask.

The feature is part of the UCX v1.10 release.

Validation

smparquery

Check that AR is enabled on a switch (using the switch lid), us the smparquery (supported on OFED 5.x)

...

Code Block
$ sudo smparquery ARInfo -L 136 -C mlx5_1 
op = ARInfo, dest = 136, rest = 
-I- Getting ARInfo from lid=136
-I- ARInfo:
AR Status.........................Enabled
Is ARN Supported..................Yes
Is FRN Supported..................Yes
Is FR Supported...................Yes
FR Enabled........................Yes
RN Xmit Enabled...................Yes
AR Sub Groups Active..............0
AR Groups Copy Supported..........15
Direction Num Supported...........4
AR Fallback.......................Enabled
AR IS4 mode.......................No
AR Glb Group......................Yes
AR By SL Cap......................Yes
AR By Transport Cap...............Yes
AR Dynamic Cap Calc...............Yes

AR Version........................2
RN Version........................0
AR By SL Mask Enable..............0 (All SLs enabled)
AR SL Mask........................N/A
AR By TransportDisable............0x5
AR Ageing Time Value..............0

Note that the switch SL map is always enabled for all SLs. The SL mask configuration is done on the adapter.

Get the SL Mask Configuration on the hosts

ibdiagnet gathers the SL Mask on the adapters. look for the OOOSLMASK column in the ibdiagnet2.db_csv output. In this example, SL mask is set to 0xFFFA.

Code Block
cat /var/tmp/ibdiagnet2/ibdiagnet2.db_csv | grep -A 1 OOOSLMask
NodeGuid,PortGuid,PortNum, ... ,OOOSLMask,CapMsk2,FECActv,RetransActv
