port name One can configure a list of hostnames as a
rule. Hosts with a node description that is
built out of these hostnames will be cho
-
sen. Since the node description contains
the network card index as well, one might
also specify a network card index and a
physical port to be chosen. For example,
the given configuration will cause only
physical port 2 of a host with the node
description ‘kuku HCA-1’ to be chosen.
port and hca_idx parameters are
optional. If the port is unspecified, all
physical ports are chosen. If hca_idx is
unspecified, all card numbers are chosen.
Specifying a hostname is mandatory.
One can configure a list of hostname/
port/hca_idx sets in the same quali
-
fier as follows:
port-name: hostname=kuku; port=2;
hca_idx=1 , hostname=host1; port=3,
hostname=host2
Note: port-name qualifier is not rele-
vant for switches, but for HCA’s only.
port-name: host-
name=kuku; port=2;
hca_idx=1
port regexp One can define a regular expression so
that only nodes with a matching node
description will be chosen to the group
port-regexp: SW*
It is possible to specify one physical port
to be chosen for matching nodes (there is
no option to define a list or a range of
ports). The given example will cause only
nodes that match physical port 3 to be
added to the group.
port-regexp: SW*:3
union rule It is possible to define a rule that unites
two different port groups. This means that
all ports from both groups will be
included in the united group.
union-rule: grp1,
grp2
