Hi Justin,



It seems as the pre-boot configuration didn't work.

loader.conf doesn't work on all sysctl params AFAIK.



Is it a pre-boot only issue?

What is the current sysctl output for those ports?

Have you tried switching to IB after system was loaded?



If I remember correctly, the driver was set for Eth configuration by defaul=
t.

Of course, this is reversible..

Subject: How to force IB cards to come up in IB mode?



Hi all,



I'm trying to get a new FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE install to work well with my MH=
GH28-XTC (dual port ConnectX DDR) cards.



The problem is they're coming up in eth mode, not ib mode, and I can't seem=
 to get that fixed. :(



>From boot:



  # ifconfig

  mlxen0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

          options=3D6d07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,=
VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TX=
CSUM_IPV6>

          ether 00:02:c9:00:ca:cd

          nd6 options=3D29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

          media: Ethernet autoselect

          status: no carrier

  mlxen1: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

          options=3D6d07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,=
VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TX=
CSUM_IPV6>

          ether 00:02:c9:00:ca:ce

          nd6 options=3D29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

          media: Ethernet autoselect

          status: no carrier



My loader.conf file seems like it should be correct:



  # cat /boot/loader.conf

  sys.device.mlx4_core0.mlx4_port1=3D"ib"

  sys.device.mlx4_core0.mlx4_port2=3D"ib"



As background, this is a new install (coming from CentOS 6.x, where it all =
works well), so I know there's no problem with the cards.  They're plugged =
into a 24 port DDR switch (Voltaire ISR 9024D-M) using active optical cable=
s.



Any ideas?



Regards and best wishes,



Justin Clift
