node. After making sure the RPMs are on each node, login as root and, for the
InfiniPath
and
InfiniPath-MPI
RPMs, run the command:
#
rpm -Uvh InfiniPath/*.rpm InfiniPath-MPI/*.rpm \
InfiniPath-Devel/*.rpm
For the OpenFabrics RPMs run the command:
#
rpm -Uvh OpenFabrics/*.rpm OpenFabrics-Devel/*.rpm
Parallel command starters can be used for installation on multiple nodes, but this
is beyond the scope of this documentation.
NOTE:
Installation of the InfiniPath driver RPM
(
infinipath-kernel-2.0-xxx-yyy
) builds kernel modules for the
currently running kernel version. These InfiniPath modules will only work
with that kernel. If a different kernel is booted, the InfiniPath driver RPM
must be re-installed or rebuilt See
NOTE:
RPMs contain
config
files. Your current
config
files will not be
overwritten when new RPMs are installed. New
config
files will contain
the suffix
.rpmnew
and can be found in
/etc/sysconfig
. Check the
new file(s) to see if there is anything you want to add to your standard
config file.
An alternate method to manage installation by using Rocks is given below in
3.5.3
