Infiniband MTU value cannot be changed

[shimizu3]

type : CX516A
OS : CentOS 7.6
I have the following configuration and I want to set the MTU value of IB to 65520 but it is not updated.

CONNECTED_MODE described in ifcfg-ib0 is set to YES.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib0
CONNECTED_MODE=yes
TYPE=InfiniBand
MTU=65520
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=
PREFIX=24
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME=ib0
UUID=b1f0e139-55a4-4df3-b860-78806d60c84d
DEVICE=ib0
ONBOOT=yes

openibd opensmd service is enabled.

When the ibstat command is executed, port1 is displayed as two.

The IP address can be set, but the MTU value cannot be changed and remains “4092”.

Can you tell us if there are other setting points?

Hi
In order to set ConnectX-5 card as connected mode, please disable the Enhanced IPoIB
To disable Enhanced IPoIB:

1. Disable “ipoib_enhanced”:
   #vi /etc/modprobe.d/ib_ipoib.conf

Add the following entry:
options ib_ipoib ipoib_enhanced=0

2. Stop and start openibd service:
   #/etc/init.d/openibd stop
   #/etc/init.d/openibd start

3. Verify parameter is disabled: (The value should be 0)
   #cat /sys/module/ib_ipoib/parameters/ipoib_enhanced

4. Verify the mode:
   #cat /sys/class/net/ib0/mode
