IMPORTANT:
This step must be performed for 10 GigE systems only. Do not use this process
on InfiniBand systems.
If your system uses Mellanox ConnectX HCAs in 10 GigE mode, HP recommends that you
upgrade the HCA board firmware before installing the Mellanox 10 GigE driver. If the existing
board firmware revision is outdated, you might encounter errors if you upgrade the firmware
after the Mellanox 10 GigE drivers are installed. Use the mstflint tool to check the firmware
version and upgrade to the minimum recommended version 2.6 as follows:
# mstflint -d 08:00.0 q
Image type: ConnectX
FW Version: 2.6.0
Device ID: 25418
Chip Revision: A0
Description: Node Port1 Port2 Sys image
GUIDs: 001a4bffff0cd124 001a4bffff0cd125 001a4bffff0cd126 001a4bffff0
MACs: 001a4b0cd125 001a4b0cd126
Board ID: (HP_09D0000001)
VSD:
PSID: HP_09D0000001
# mstflint -d 08:00.0 -i fw-25408-2_6_000-448397-B21_matt.bin -nofs burn
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 G3.2-0 software has been installed, some additional configuration steps are
needed. These steps include the following:
IMPORTANT:
HP SFS G3.1-0 and later require a valid license. For license installation instructions,
see
.
•
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
