/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethn

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethn, where n specifies the ethernet port number, usually 0 for the

first on-board port. If your workstation has an add-on ethernet card installed, the Linux operating system

may assign ports eth0 through eth3 to the add-on card. In such a case, the on-board Ethernet ports become

eth4 and eth5.

Optionally set the GATEWAY if not set in /etc/sysconfig/network.

Sample snippet from file:

DEVICE="eth0"

BOOTPROTO="static"

IPADDR="192.168.1.100"

NETMASK="255.255.0.0"

ONBOOT="yes"

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

You'll need the following from your network administrator:

■ A unique static IP address and host name for your system

■ The network gateway IP address.

■ The subnet mask of your network.

■ DNS server IP address(es).

Configure an InfiniBand card

If the card was not present when you last ran the DKU installation, run it again to setup the drivers for the

card. After changing the configuration, you must reboot for them to take effect.

If your workstation is equipped witha Mellanox QDR InfiniBand / 10 GigE adapter card, or a QLogic 9000

DDR InfiniBand adapter card, perform the procedures in this section to configure the IP address of the

Infini|Band port.

Mellanox QDR InfiniBand / 10 GigE adapter card

■ Settings are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib0

■ You can update the file by running, as root, the script /usr/discreet/DKU/InfiniBand/ofed/install.pl

■ You may need to edit the IP address, netmask, broadcast address and base network address.

QLogic DDR InfiniBand card

■ Settings are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib1

■ You can update the file by running, as root, the script /sbin/iba_config

■ You may need to edit the IP address.

Install the DKU and the AJA OEM-2K firmware

Check the DKU version

In a terminal, as root, check the currently installed DKU version with the command head -n1

/etc/DKUversion. If the version does not meet the requirements for the new application version, install the

DKU.
