It’ll be even faster if using pure Infiniband applications (rather than IPoIB, since more processing is done in the Infiniband hardware, rather than CPUs having to shuffle the TCP/IP stack, among other factors). The cards in the above example are pushing a healthy 25 Gbps. On the second box, throw data at your first one ( -P 2 means to use 2 threads): $ iperf -c 10.0.0.1 -P 2Ĭlient connecting to 10.0.0.1, TCP port 5001 On the first box, put iperf into server mode: $ sudo iperf -s -i 1 $ sudo sh -c "echo connected > /sys/class/net/ib0/mode" $ sudo ifconfig ib0 10.0.0.1 # Use. It’s important to put the cards into connected mode and set a large MTU: $ sudo modprobe ib_ipoib On both boxes, we’ll use IPoIB (IP over Infiniband) to assign a couple temporary IPs and iperf to run a performance test.

iperf is already installed ( apt-get install iperf). In the examples below, I’m using Ubuntu Linux and the interface name of the IB card is simply ib0. Here’s a quick way to throw some data through them and see.

Wipe the partition-table signatures when needed #Ĭombine querying for specific physical volume with wipefs exception for LVM2 members to wipe the partition-table signatures only when it is needed, so you can later create physical volume and add it to the specific volume group.Ĭheck on existing LVM2 member. Notice, it is an LVM2 member, a simple mistake can be devastating. dev/sdd: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Success dev/sdd: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa $ sudo wipefs -no-act -types noLVM2_member -all /dev/sdd $ sudo wipefs -no-act -types noLVM2_member -all /dev/sdbĭry-run wipefs on a disk/partition that was used earlier and have some leftover data.

Query physical volumes that belong to the specific volume group. $ sudo pvdisplay -noheadings -columns -options pv_name | tr -d In this example I will play with the /dev/sd physical volumes.

#Wipefs error probing initialization failed how to#
Today I will extend the how to fix device excluded by a filter blog post to include information on how to wipe filesystem or partition-table signatures except for LVM2 members, which is a great idea for automation.
