HP Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) User Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3110, May 2013)
2 Installing and configuring SDP
SDP shares the same IP addresses and interface names as IPoIB. For more information about IPoIB,
see IPoIB(7) and HP Fabric Clustering System - HP-UX Administrator's Guide at www.hp.com/go/
fabric-clustering-infiniband-docs.
Prerequisites
IB4X-00 depot version 1.31.1304 must be installed on the system. It can be downloaded from the
HP Software Depot website at www.software.hp.com. This depot contains the drivers for infiniband
HCA and the RDS protocols.

# swinstall -x reinstall=false -x autoreboot=true -s (depot-path)

Configuring SDP using libsdp.conf file
The following statements are supported by the libsdp.conf file:
• use—defines the protocol (SDP or TCP) to be used for the sockets that match the particular
line.
• log—for setting logging related configuration. Because the log settings take immediate effect,
logs are defined at the beginning of the configuration file.
See “Configuration files for libsdp.conf” (page 14) for a sample libsdp.conf file. For
information about how to edit the libsdp.conf file, see “Integrating applications with SDP using
libsdp.so library” (page 6).
