What are the interface and peer names?
Each interface attached to an Open-MX driver in the fabric is identified by a MAC address, an internal peer index, and a convenient Open-MX hostname. The hostname is set by the local driver when attaching the interface. By default, it is the machine hostname followed by a colon and the index of the interfaces in the list of attached Open-MX interfaces. For instance, when attaching two interfaces to machine node34, they will be named node34:0 and node34:1. If attaching the loopback interface (lo), the driver will automatically name it localhost instead. Interface names are propagated to other machines in the fabric automatically. the list of all known peers (interfaces attached to any driver in the fabric) and thei hostnames may be seen with: $ omx_info […
