.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.SS rdma system set - set RDMA subsystem network namespace mode

.SS rdma system show - display RDMA subsystem network namespace mode

.PP

.I "NEWMODE"

- specifies the RDMA subsystem mode. Either exclusive or shared.

When user wants to assign dedicated RDMA device to a particular

network namespace, exclusive mode should be set before creating

any network namespace. If there are active network namespaces and if

one or more RDMA devices exist, changing mode from shared to

exclusive returns error code EBUSY.

When RDMA subsystem is in shared mode, RDMA device is accessible in

all network namespace. When RDMA device isolation among multiple

network namespaces is not needed, shared mode can be used.

It is preferred to not change the subsystem mode when there is active

RDMA traffic running, even though it is supported.

.SH "EXAMPLES"

.PP

rdma system show

.RS 4

Shows the state of RDMA subsystem network namespace mode on the system.

.RE
