Use these steps to dynamically add an IBM® 10 GbE RoCE Express®
interface.
Procedure
Perform the following steps:
- Install and configure the 10 GbE RoCE Express feature in
the hardware configuration definition (HCD). Configuration includes the physical network ID (PNetID) for the 10 GbE RoCE Express port. For more information, see Physical network considerations.
- Add the new PCI Express function ID (PFID) to the GLOBALCONFIG SMCR parameter in the TCP/IP
profile data set.
Rule: In
addition to the PFID that you are adding, you must also specify all
currently configured PFIDs on the GLOBALCONFIG SMCR parameter. When
you update the configured PFIDs on the GLOBALCONFIG SMCR parameter,
you are completely replacing the configured PFID information.
- Issue the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command and specify the
updated TCP/IP profile data set.
Results
If any SMC-R capable IPAQENET and IPAQENET6 interfaces were ever active, the
10 GbE RoCE Express interface
that the added PFID represents is automatically started. Otherwise, the interface is started when
the first SMC-R capable interface is started.
