 SRP (OFED and QLogic modules). SRP is not running until the module is
loaded and the SRP devices on the fabric have been discovered.
 MPI over uDAPL (can be used by Intel MPI or HP
®
-MPI). IPoIB must be
configured before MPI over uDAPL can be set up.
Other optional drivers can now be configured and enabled, as described in
“OpenFabrics Drivers and Services Configuration and Startup” on page 4-6.
Complete information about starting, stopping, and restarting the InfiniPath
services are in “Managing the InfiniPath Driver” on page 4-19.
OpenFabrics Drivers and Services Configuration
and Startup
IPoIB, VNIC, OpenSM, SRP, and MPI over uDAPL configuration and startup is
explained in more detail in the following sections.
Configuring the IPoIB Network Interface
The following instructions show you how to manually configure your OpenFabrics
IPoIB network interface. This example assumes that you are using sh or bash as
your shell, all required InfiniPath and OpenFabrics RPMs are installed, and your
startup scripts have been run (either manually or at system boot).
For this example, the IPoIB network is 10.1.17.0 (one of the networks reserved for
private use, and thus not routable on the Internet), with a /8 host portion. In this
case, the netmask must be specified.
This example assumes that no hosts files exist, the host being configured has the
IP address 10.1.17.3, and DHCP is not used.
1. Type the following command (as a root user):
# ifconfig ib0 10.1.17.3 netmask 0xffffff00
2. To verify the configuration, type:
# ifconfig ib0
NOTE:
Instructions are only for this static IP address case. Configuration methods
for using DHCP will be supplied in a later release.
