Problem summary

  • Using commands like autoconf6 chdev or mkiba or smitty
    to configure IPv6 addresses will fail in systems with
    InfiniBand QDR adapters. Complains from
    duplicate address detection or that the network is down
    are examples of this failures.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The solution is the modification of the ifconfig.ib command
    and the autoconf6 to handle situations where the
    InfiniBand QDR ports are still training with the line.
    In other words, wait for the ports to be UP.
