Fixed In Version:	rhel-system-roles-1.18.0-1.el8	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	.Users can create connections with IPoIB capability using the `network` RHEL System Role The `infiniband` connection type of the `network` RHEL System Role now supports the Internet Protocol over Infiniband (IPoIB) capability. To enable this feature, define a value to the `p_key` option of `infiniband`. Note that if you specify `p_key`, the `interface_name` option of the `network_connections` variable must be left unset. The previous implementation of the `network` RHEL System Role did not properly validate the `p_key` value and the `interface_name` option for the `infiniband` connection type. Therefore, the IPoIB functionality never worked before. For more information, see a README file in the `/usr/share/doc/rhel-system-roles/network/` directory.	Story Points:	---

Description Wen Liang 2022-05-16 17:29:34 UTC

Description of problem:

This is more like the RFE than an bugfix. The following are the sub-tasks:

1. Add the infiniband setting description, the integration test.
2. Improve the infiniband setting validation.
3. Change the default value of `p_key` setting.

Comment 1 Rich Megginson 2022-05-16 18:02:22 UTC

We will also need to add `--skip-tags tests::infiniband` to our downstream CI tests.

Comment 8 Zhiqian Guan 2022-06-02 11:05:00 UTC

Ran test playbook on an RHEL8.7 control host, target RHEL7.9, 8.6, 8.7, 9.0, 9.1 as managed nodes, result looks fine, please see detailed logging in the attachment

Same test playbook issue as I mentioned at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2086965#c6, I'll also open another bug to track the test playbook issue, set this to VERIFIED as feature itself is good.
