10
11
13 The DAT static registry, /etc/dat/dat.conf is a system-wide data
14 resource maintained by the system administrative command datadm(1M).
15
16
17 /etc/dat/dat.conf contains a list of interface adapters supported by
18 uDAPL service providers. An interface adapter on Infiniband (IB) corre‐
19 sponds to an IPoIB device instance, for example, ibd0. An IPoIB device
20 name represents an IP interface plumbed by ifconfig(1M) on an IB parti‐
21 tion/Host Channel Adapter port combination.
22
23
24 Each entry in the DAT static registry is a single line that contains
25 eight fields. Fields are separated by a SPACE. Lines that begin with a
26 pound sign (#) are considered comments. All characters that follow the
27 # are ignored. Enclose Solaris specific strings (Solaris_spe‐
28 cific_string) and service provider's instance data (service
29 _provider_instance_data) in quotes.
30
31
32 The following shows the order of the fields in a dat.conf entry:
33
34 "interface_adapter_name" "API_version" "threadsafe | nonthreadsafe" \
35 "default | nondefault" "service_provider_library_pathname" \
36 "service_provider_version" "service _provider_instance_data"\
37 "Solaris_specific_string"
38
39
40
41 The fields are defined as follows:
42
43 interface_adapter_name
44
45 Specifies the Interface Adapter (IA) name. In IB, this is the IPoIB
46 device instance name, for example, ibd0. This represents an IP
47 interface plumbed on an IB partition/port combination of the HCA.
48
49
50 API_version
51
52 Specifies the API version of the service provide library: For exam‐
53 ple, "u"major.minor is u1.2.
54
55
56 threadsafe | nonthreadsafe
57
58 Specifies a threadsafe or non-threadsafe library.
59
60
61 default | nondefault
62
63 Specifies a default or non-default version of library. A service
64 provider can offer several versions of the library. If so, one ver‐
65 sion is designated as default with the rest as nondefault.
66
67
68 service_provider_library_pathname
69
70 Specifies the pathname of the library image.
71
72
73 service_provider_version
74
75 Specifies the version of the service provider. By convention, spec‐
76 ify the company stock symbol as the service provider, followed by
77 major and minor version numbers, for example, SUNW1.0.
78
79
80 service _provider_instance_data
81
82 Specifies the service provider instance data.
83
84
85 Solaris_specific_string
86
87 Specifies a platform specific string, for example, the device name
88 in the service_provider.conf file.

95 The following dat.conf file shows a uDAPL 1.2 service provider for
96 tavor, udapl_tavor.so.1 supporting two interfaces, ibd0 and ibd1:

127 An empty dat.conf is created during the package SUNWudaplr installation
128 if no file is present beforehand. Entries in the file are added or
129 removed by running datadm(1M).

132 The content of the platform specific string does not constitute an API.
133 It is generated by datadm(1M) and might have a different content or
134 interpretation in a future release.
