Install QLogicIB-Basic with the Installer Tool
The QLogicIB-Basic package has a Text User Interface (TUI) for easy installation
of the software. Use this method if you downloaded the QLogicIB-Basic package.
This method is suitable for use on small clusters.
1. From the QLogic web site (www.qlogic.com
), click the Downloads tab.
Locate your adapter model.
2. Download the QLogicIB-Basic tar file for your distribution to a directory that
will not be deleted upon reboot. Then unpack the tar file by typing:
$ tar zxvf QLogicIB-Basic.<version>.tgz
The tar command creates a directory based on the tar file name and
places the RPMs and other files in this directory.
3. After unpacking the .tgz file, change the directory to:
cd QLogicIB-Basic.<version>
4. Log in as a root user, then type:
# ./INSTALL
If you need 32-bit support on 64 bit operating systems (OSs), invoke the
installer with ./INSTALL --32bit
A menu similar to the following displays:
QLogic Inc. InfiniBand <version> Software
1) Install/Uninstall Software
2) Reconfigure OFED IP over IB
3) Reconfigure Driver Autostart
4) Update HCA Firmware
5) Generate Supporting Information for Problem Report
6) Fast Fabric (Host/Chassis/Switch Setup/Admin)
