NAME
       dat.conf - DAT static registry

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/dat/dat.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The  DAT	 static	 registry,  /etc/dat/dat.conf  is  a  system-wide data
       resource maintained by the system administrative command datadm(1M).

       /etc/dat/dat.conf contains a list of interface  adapters	 supported  by
       uDAPL service providers. An interface adapter on Infiniband (IB) corre‐
       sponds to an IPoIB device instance, for example, ibd0. An IPoIB	device
       name represents an IP interface plumbed by ifconfig(1M) on an IB parti‐
       tion/Host Channel Adapter port combination.

       Each entry in the DAT static registry is a single  line	that  contains
       eight  fields. Fields are separated by a <SPACE>. Lines that begin with
       a pound sign (#) are considered comments. All  characters  that	follow
       the  #  are  ignored.  Enclose  Solaris	specific strings (Solaris_spe‐
       cific_string)   and   service   provider's   instance   data   (service
       _provider_instance_data) in quotes.

       The following shows the order of the fields in a dat.conf entry:

       "interface_adapter_name" "API_version" "threadsafe | nonthreadsafe" \
       "default | nondefault" "service_provider_library_pathname" \
       "service_provider_version" "service _provider_instance_data"\
       "Solaris_specific_string"

       The fields are defined as follows:

       interface_adapter_name

	   Specifies the Interface Adapter (IA) name. In IB, this is the IPoIB
	   device instance name, for example,  ibd0.  This  represents	an  IP
	   interface plumbed on an IB partition/port combination of the HCA.

       API_version

	   Specifies the API version of the service provide library: For exam‐
	   ple, "u"major.minor is u1.2.

       threadsafe | nonthreadsafe

	   Specifies a threadsafe or non-threadsafe library.

       default | nondefault

	   Specifies a default or non-default version of  library.  A  service
	   provider can offer several versions of the library. If so, one ver‐
	   sion is designated as default with the rest as nondefault.

       service_provider_library_pathname

	   Specifies the pathname of the library image.

       service_provider_version

	   Specifies the version of the service provider. By convention, spec‐
	   ify	the  company stock symbol as the service provider, followed by
	   major and minor version numbers, for example, SUNW1.0.

       service _provider_instance_data

	   Specifies the service provider instance data.

       Solaris_specific_string

	   Specifies a platform specific string, for example, the device  name
	   in the service_provider.conf file.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1: Sample dat.conf File

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

       #
       # dat.conf for uDAPL 1.2
       #
       ibd0 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
       "driver_name=tavor"
       ibd1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
       "driver_name=tavor"

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

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