4.2 Installing Additional RPMs
You may be required to install additional software before installing the HP XC System Software:
InfiniBand Interconnect The InfiniBand interconnect switch requires drivers and the
stack provided by the vendor. Install ibhost-biz-*.rpm
before installing the HP XC System Software. This rpm is
provided by the vendor.
Install the InfiniBand interconnect software using the
instructions provided by the vendor.
NOTE: You need to obtain an updated Infiniband driver
from HP Support each time you update the kernel.
squid software The squid software is a high performance Web proxy cache
that can improve response times and reduce bandwidth.
An HP XC Blade System requires the squid software for
its Onboard Administrator (OA).
Use the rpm command to install the squid software. The
following example installs the squid software on an HP
CP4000 platform:
1. Mount CD 2 of the Red Hat installation kit.
2. Use the rpm command to install the squid software:
# rpm -Uvh RedHat/RPMS/squid-*.rpm
