Install Drivers from an ISO on NFS
Apply IP Addresses to InfiniBand Ports (IPoIB Users Only)
Generate a /etc/hosts File
Generate a /etc/hosts file for each host. Include all device hostnames (switches and servers). Add all of
your IPoIB and/or Management Ethernet addresses to your DNS server or your /etc/hosts file.
Persistence
Edit your network startup scripts appropriately to make your interface settings persistent.
Step 1
host login: user-id
Password: password
Log in to your host.
Step 2
Host~ #cd path/image Navigate to the ISO on your file system.
Step 3
Host:/path/image # mount -o loop cisco.iso /mnt Mount the ISO.
Step 4
Host:/path/image #cd /mnt Navigate to the ISO.
Step 5
Host: /mnt #./tsinstall Enter the tsinstall command.
Step 6
host:~ # reboot Reboot your host.
Step 1
host login: user-id
Password: password
Log in to your host.
Step 2
Host:~ #ifconfig ib0 10.0.2.1 netmask
255.255.0.0
Enter the ifconfig command with
• the appropriate IB interface (ib0 or ib1 on a host with
one HCA)
• the IP address that you want to assign to the interface
• the netmask keyword
• the subnet mask that you want to assign to the
interface
• to configure the IB interface.
Step 3
host:~ # ifconfig ib0
ib0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr
93:C1:2A:29:33:3E
