6 .TH DAT.CONF 4 "Jun 18, 2004"
8 dat.conf \- DAT static registry
12 \fB/etc/dat/dat.conf\fR
18 The DAT static registry, \fB/etc/dat/dat.conf\fR is a system-wide data resource
19 maintained by the system administrative command \fBdatadm\fR(1M).
22 \fB/etc/dat/dat.conf\fR contains a list of interface adapters supported by
23 uDAPL service providers. An interface adapter on Infiniband (IB) corresponds to
24 an IPoIB device instance, for example, \fBibd0\fR. An IPoIB device name
25 represents an IP interface plumbed by \fBifconfig\fR(1M) on an IB
26 partition/Host Channel Adapter port combination.
29 Each entry in the DAT static registry is a single line that contains eight
30 fields. Fields are separated by a SPACE. Lines that begin with a pound sign
31 (\fB#\fR) are considered comments. All characters that follow the \fB#\fR are
32 ignored. Enclose Solaris specific strings (\fISolaris_specific_string\fR) and
33 service provider's instance data (\fIservice _provider_instance_data\fR) in
37 The following shows the order of the fields in a \fBdat.conf\fR entry:
41 "\fIinterface_adapter_name\fR" "\fIAPI_version\fR" "\fIthreadsafe\fR | \fInonthreadsafe\fR" \e
42 "\fIdefault\fR | \fInondefault\fR" "\fIservice_provider_library_pathname\fR" \e
43 "\fIservice_provider_version\fR" "\fIservice _provider_instance_data\fR"\e
44 "\fISolaris_specific_string\fR"
50 The fields are defined as follows:
54 \fB\fIinterface_adapter_name\fR\fR
58 Specifies the Interface Adapter (IA) name. In IB, this is the IPoIB device
59 instance name, for example, \fBibd0\fR. This represents an IP interface plumbed
60 on an IB partition/port combination of the HCA.
66 \fB\fIAPI_version\fR\fR
70 Specifies the API version of the service provide library: For example,
71 \fB"u"major.minor\fR is \fBu1.2\fR.
77 \fB\fIthreadsafe\fR | \fInonthreadsafe\fR\fR
81 Specifies a threadsafe or non-threadsafe library.
87 \fB\fIdefault\fR | \fInondefault\fR\fR
91 Specifies a default or non-default version of library. A service provider can
92 offer several versions of the library. If so, one version is designated as
93 \fBdefault\fR with the rest as \fBnondefault\fR.
99 \fB\fIservice_provider_library_pathname\fR\fR
103 Specifies the pathname of the library image.
109 \fB\fIservice_provider_version\fR\fR
113 Specifies the version of the service provider. By convention, specify the
114 company stock symbol as the service provider, followed by major and minor
115 version numbers, for example, \fBSUNW1.0\fR.
121 \fB\fIservice _provider_instance_data\fR\fR
125 Specifies the service provider instance data.
131 \fB\fISolaris_specific_string\fR\fR
135 Specifies a platform specific string, for example, the device name in the
136 \fBservice_provider.conf\fR file.
141 \fBExample 1 \fRSample \fBdat.conf\fR File
144 The following \fBdat.conf\fR file shows a \fBuDAPL 1.2\fR service provider for
145 \fBtavor, udapl_tavor.so.1\fR supporting two interfaces, \fBibd0\fR and
152 # dat.conf for uDAPL 1.2
154 ibd0 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
156 ibd1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
164 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
172 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE
174 Interface Stability Standard
180 \fBdatadm\fR(1M), \fBifconfig\fR(1M), \fBlibdat\fR(3LIB),
181 \fBservice_provider.conf\fR(4), \fBattributes\fR(5)
185 An empty \fBdat.conf\fR is created during the package \fBSUNWudaplr\fR
186 installation if no file is present beforehand. Entries in the file are added or
187 removed by running \fBdatadm\fR(1M).
190 The content of the platform specific string does not constitute an API. It is
191 generated by \fBdatadm\fR(1M) and might have a different content or
192 interpretation in a future release.
