Reconfigure all servers in the system by entering the

configure server

Removing InfiniBand partitioning

If your InfiniBand interconnect was partitioned but has been changed so that it is no longer partitioned, you

must change the interconnect configuration on the HP SFS system, as follows:

1.

Unmount all file systems on all client nodes.

2.

Log in to the administration server and stop the file systems by entering the

stop filesystem

filesystem_name

command for each file system.

3.

Enter the

show filesystem

command and verify that all MDS and OST services used by the file

systems are stopped.
