InfiniBand Partitions
---------------------
Just like a VLAN allows to segment traffic on an Ethernet network partitions
allow to segment traffic on an InfiniBand network. Each InfiniBand partition
is identified by a partition key which is a 16-bit number. During fabric
initialization the subnet manager assigns one or more partition keys to
each InfiniBand port. For opensm partitions are defined in
/etc/opensm/partitions.conf. ib_srpt uses the partition with index 0. Which
partition key corresponds to index 0 can be found out by querying sysfs:
$ head /sys/class/infiniband/*/ports/*/pkeys/0
==> /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/1/pkeys/0 <==
0xffff
==> /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/2/pkeys/0 <==
0xffff
