Propagate the SCI Configuration
Perform the following steps on the node that contains the sci_config.hpc file.
Run
sm_config
Go to /opt/SUNWsma/bin and run the SCI setup program, sm_config.
If possible, do this from a console terminal so you can see the output generated by
sm_config. If this is not possible, examine the output in /var/adm/messages. The
following example shows the output that would be generated for the four-node,
nonstriped sample configuration shown in Figure 3–1.
# cd /opt/SUNWsma/bin
# sm_config -f ../sci_config.hpc
For Host #0 (node3), adapter details :-
Adp #0 :- serial no = 6269; bus slot = 0;
For Host #1 (node4), adapter details :-
Adp #0 :- serial no = 6520; bus slot = 0;
For Host #2 (node5), adapter details :-
Adp #0 :- serial no = 6527; bus slot = 0;
For Host #3 (node6), adapter details :-
Adp #0 :- serial no = 6148; bus slot = 0;
Press Return to continue:
Do not press Return yet. Instead, go to the next section.
Compare
sm_config
Output With Contents of
sci_config.hpc
Compare the list of serial numbers in the
sm_config
output with the serial numbers
in the temporary map you made of the actual network configuration. Verify that the
adapter IDs and connection details you entered in Section 6 of
sci_config.hpc
correspond to your temporary network map. If not, change the contents of
sci_config.hpc
to correspond to physical configuration described by the
temporary map.
When examining the
sm_config
output, also look for any error messages reported
by
sm_config
or
sm_configd
.
If the sm_config output conflicts with Section 6 of the
sci_config.hpc
file, stop
execution of
sm_config
(press Control-C) and correct the configuration file. Then
run
sm_config
again and compare its output with
sci_config.hpc
again.
