@jamacku @lnykryn, anything to be done here?

lnykryn commented 4 years ago

We were just discussing this with @jamacku on Friday and I have a feeling that this should not be here. At least on rhel7, there is a rdma package with contains ifup-ib and ifdown-ib scripts. So my guess is that you actually want to have this logic in https://github.com/Mellanox/rdma-utils

Mellanox/rdma-utils is a repository that is used internally in Mellanox it has a bunch of other stuff that is not needed, nor is it maintained.

ipoib configurations is standard and should not be in a vendor specific repo imo.
