To ensure the correct firmware version and files for your boards, obtain firmware files from your
HP representative.

Run the following script:

# /opt/hp/sfs/scripts/install10GbE.sh

This script removes the OFED InfiniBand drivers and installs the Mellanox 10 GigE drivers. After
the script completes, the system must be rebooted for the 10 GigE drivers to be operational.

3.5 Configuration Instructions

After the HP SFS G3.1-0 software has been installed, some additional configuration steps are
needed. These steps include the following:

IMPORTANT:

HP SFS G3.1-0 requires a valid license. For license installation instructions, see

Chapter 6 (page 55)

.

Configuring network interfaces for Ethernet and InfiniBand or 10 GigE

Creating the /etc/hosts file and propagating it to each node

Configuring the pdsh command for file system cluster-wide operations

Configuring user credentials

Verifying digital signatures (optional)

3.5.1 Configuring Ethernet and InfiniBand or 10 GigE Interfaces

Ethernet and InfiniBand IPoIB ib0 interface addresses must be configured, if not already
configured with network statements in the Kickstart file. Use the CentOS GUI, enter the
system-config-network

command, or edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

ifcfg-xxx

files.

The IP addresses and netmasks for the InfiniBand interfaces should be chosen carefully to allow
the file system server nodes to communicate with the client nodes.

The system name, if not already set by the Kickstart procedure, must be set by editing the /etc/
sysconfig/network file

as follows:

HOSTNAME=mynode1

3.5.2 Creating the /etc/hosts file

Create an /etc/hosts file with the names and IP addresses of all the Ethernet interfaces on
each system in the file system cluster, including the following:

Internal interfaces

External interface

iLO interfaces

InfiniBand or 10 GigE interfaces

Interfaces to the Fibre Channel switches

MSA2000 controllers

InfiniBand switches

Client nodes (optional)

This file should be propagated to all nodes in the file system cluster.
