Changes and New Features

Adaptive Timeout SL Mask

Added support for Adaptive Timeout SL mask.

Feature control parameter:

• adaptive_timeout_sl_mask - an adaptive timeout enabled SLs mask. (Default 0xFFFF)

IB Router QoS

Extended the QoS policy file to support subnet prefixes and port GIDs for inter subnet QoS.
This improvement enables the definition of SL/rate/MTU/packet-life for cross-subnet paths.
For further information, refer to the doc/QoS_management_in_OpenSM.txt document.

Routing Engine

Added a new root detection algorithm in UPDN and ar_updn routing engines.

Feature control parameters:

• find_roots_color_algorithm - enables/disables the feature. (Default is TRUE)

• max_cas_on_spine - sets the maximum number of CAs on a switch to allow considering it
  as a spine instead of a leaf by the routing algorithm.

Routing Engine

Changed the default routing engine to be ar_updn instead of minhop.

Vendor Specific (VS) Key

Added support for Vendor Specific (VS) key.

The following are the parameters related to the feature:

• vs_key_enable - enables VS key configuration:0 - ignore1 - disable2 - enable

• vs_key_lease_period - the lease period used for VS keys in [sec].

• vs_key_ci_protect_bits - the protection level for the key:1 - protected0 - unprotected (The response Key Info exposes the key).

• vs_max_outstanding_mads - the maximum number of outstanding VS MADs in the network at once.

• key_mgr_seed - used by the key manager for VS key configuration.

SA Response Time

Improved SA response time during routing calculation.

Feature control parameter:

• enable_queries_during_routing - enables SA queries during routing calculation. (Default is TRUE)

Report Duplicated GUIDs

Added support for reporting duplicated GUIDs to UFM.

Switch Reboot

Added the option to report switch reboots to UFM.

Long Transaction Timeout

Enabled the option to use long transaction timeout for PI for port 0 MADs.

SMDB Dump File

Added subnet prefix to SMDB dump file.

SM Binding Port Information

Added SM binding port information to the MAD details in the timeout message, dumped to the SM log file.

OpenSM Start Time

Added SM start time to the SMDB dump file.

Dump MAD Statistics per SM Port

Added the option to enable dump MAD statistics per SM port.

Feature control parameter:

• osm_stats_dump_per_sm_port - enables/disables the feature. (Default is FALSE)

Adaptive Routing (AR) Group IDs

Made the process of selecting AR (Adaptive Routing) group IDs deterministic in each run of the SM on the same fabric.

New

Boolean

Find root using coloring algorithm for tree based topologies.

Default is TRUE.

max_cas_on_spine

New

Boolean

The maximum number of CAs on a switch to allow considering it as a spine instead of a leaf by the routing algorithm.

hm_num_traps

Update

Number

Changed default value from 250 to 60.

hm_num_traps_period_secs

Update

Number

Changed default value from 60 to 90 seconds.
