5.2.5 High Availability
High Availability is supported for both InfiniBand network and storage adapters. A failover port
can be located on the same HCA card or on a different HCA card on the same system (for hard
-
ware redundancy).
To define a failover policy for InfiniBand networking and/or storage, follow the instructions in
the ESXi Server Configuration Guide document.
To enable 4k mtu support: run “esxcli system module parameters set -
m=mlx4_core -p=mtu_4k=1”
.
Changes will take effect after the reboot.
