Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the RS/6000 SP System In an SP, you need to do on each node what you normally do on a standalone system. You must make the installation files available and then install them on all the relevant nodes. Perform the following tasks on the Control Workstation. You should not need to telnet or rlogin to the individual SP nodes. You need to be familiar with the dsh command.
If not, examine your nodelist file ./group1 and also ensure that the Kerberos ticket is current to permit "rsh" to be performed. If not, you may need to refresh it. The System Administrator should also be able to help you with Kerberos initialization. If not, consult your support center. If you only need to do a few nodes, use the dsh -w host1,host2,host3... command format to explicitly exercise groups of nodes rather than using the working collective. 5.
9. Record the name that appears below lppsource_name for each node on which the adapters are being installed; you use this later. __________________________________ 10. Check if the device driver is installed in the lppsource directory by typing: cd /spdata/sys1/install//lppsource at the system prompt. was recorded in the previous step.
