Create a Partition ID (P_Key)
Default partitions are configured automatically. The members of a default partition include all
connected ports, and provide full membership. However, to create separation between traffic, you must
configure specific partitions.
Create a partition using the following steps:
a. Enter the following items at the global-configuration mode prompt:
- the
ib sm subnet-prefix command
- the subnet-prefix of the IB subnet (use the
show ib sm config subnet-prefix all command).
- the
p_key command
and
- an ID for the partition (refer to page 56 to select a value).
Specify Partition Members and the
Membership Type
b. Add the following information for partition members:
- the
ib sm subnet-prefix command
- the subnet-prefix that is to be partitioned.
- the
p_key command
- the current p_key value
- the
partition-member command
- the GUID of the node that you want to add to the partition.
- the port number that is to be added to the partition.
- the membership type of the partition member (full-member or limited-member) refer to
“Membership Types” on page 54.
