Configure IPoIB Interfaces
SDP uses the same IP addresses and interface names as IPoIB.
1. Configure the IPoIB IP interfaces, if you have not already done so (
page 23
).
Specify Connection Overrides
2. Use a text editor to open the libsdp.conf file (located in /usr/local/topspin/etc). This file defines
when to automatically use SDP instead of TCP. You may edit this file to specify connection
overrides.
Convert Sockets-Based Applications
3. Refer to
“Converting Sockets-Based Applications to Use SDP” on page 36
for information on the
various conversion methods.
