In the case that you are running a relatively old install that has not been fully updated, you may receive the
following message when trying to install the kernel rpm:
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-Bootloader >= 0.4.16 is needed by kernel-smp-version_number.arch
SuSE changed the required version of perl-Bootloader needed by later security patched kernels due to
functionality bugs in the earlier versions. In most cases you can safely ignore this message by adding the
option --nodeps to the end of the install command line to install the kernel. Note if you encounter any
issues with which kernel is set as the default boot kernel, HP recommends that you install the updated perl-
Bootloader for your distribution and remove and reinstall the kernel rpm.
Addition to step 4
Where an OpenFabrics interconnect is being used, the sample build script will build many more OFED
packages than those listed in table 3.1 of the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client Installation and
User Guide as being mandatory for Lustre. This is due to other software that may require you to install these
packages. Note that currently the OFED install script currently does not work with the sample build script,
therefore you will need to refer to the OFED documentation to determine if you need to install any of the
additional packages built.
Where you need to install the additional OFED packages that were built by the sample script and the
documentation is not sufficient to determine which packages to install, you can try using the following script
to install all the OpenFabrics packages.
Note that this will attempt to install packages that are already installed, packages that you don't need, and
will not necessarily see all the OpenFabris packages.
# rpm -i `rpm -qp --qf "%{N}-%{V}-%{R}.%{ARCH}.rpm %{URL}\n" *.rpm | grep -e "http:/
/www.openfabrics.org/" -e "http://openib.org" | awk '{print $1}'`
CAUTION: The above shell script will install opensm with the service enabled by default. This may conflict with other
sm managers.
In step 11, "configuring an IP address for the ib0 interface," the configuration script must be different for
Red Hat and for SLES.
For Red Hat, the configuration script requires the following line (as currently in the SFS 2.2-1 example):
ONBOOT=yes
For SLES, the configuration script requires the following line:
STARTMODE=onboot
