Installing the Cisco SFS 7008P Switch into a Rack To install the Host Channel Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter drivers after you have installed the HCA Expansion Card, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Locate your downloaded software direcory. Open a terminal or graphic window and access the top-level directory. Execute the command ./tsinstall in a terminal window. # cdmount ./tsinstall This program automatically detects the available kernel and installs the appropriate drivers as RPM packages. By default, the files are saved in the /usr/local/cisco directory. Configure the IPoIB driver by assigning an IP address to interface ib0 and/or ib1, which corresponds to the two HCA ports. IPoIB drivers load when the interfaces are used for the first time. To assign ib interfaces, enter ifconfig ib# ip address netmask netmask. This example configures one HCA: # ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # This example configures two HCAs: # ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib3 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Merge ib0 and ib1 for port-to-port redundancy, if desired. (Optional) Configure MPI by following these steps: • Make sure that your connections to the HCA uses port 1 of the first HCA. MPI requires the use of HCA 1, port 1. • Set up rsh or ssh on two nodes so that you can run commands between a remote and local node without entering a login or password. This is required to use the MPI protocol. • Either add paths to your environment PATH: /usr/local/cisco/mpi/mpich/bin /usr/local/cisco/bin or Add directories to your PATH variable. For example: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cisco Configure all other drivers, including SDP. 78-17434-01 Rev. A0 Cisco SFS 7008P InfiniBand Server Switch Installation and Configuration Note 11
