Q
The
/etc/hosts
file should not have any node-specific data (the following
section will step through the task of copying this file to all the nodes).
If using DNS:
Consult the documentation for the DNS server being used. Make sure to edit
the /etc/resolv.conf configuration on the IB Management Node to use the
proper DNS server. Consult the Linux OS documentation for more information
on configuring /etc/resolv.conf. This file is typically configured during OS
installation.
If /etc/resolv.conf must be manually configured for each host, Fast Fabric can
aid in copying this to all the hosts. In which case, the /etc/resolv.conf file
created on the IB Management Node must not have any node-specific data
and must be appropriate for use on all hosts. A later section will step through
the task of copying this file to all the nodes.

NTP setup - it is recommended to configure an NTP server for the cluster
and have all the hosts and Internally-Managed chassis synchronize their clocks
with the NTP server. Consult the Linux OS documentation for information on
how to configure NTP servers and clients.
8.
(All)
On the IB Management node, install the Fabric Access Software using the
procedure documented in the
Fabric Access Software Users Guide
. The IB
Management Node must have at least Fast Fabric, the IB Stack and IPoIB
installed and configured. For MPI clusters running the QuickSilver Host stack,
the IB Management Node should also include the MPI Runtime and MPI
Development packages, and if the user desires to rebuild MPI itself, the IB
Development package and MPI Source packages will also be required.
After completing the install, reboot the IB Management node.
NOTE:
When managing a cluster where compute nodes are not running the
QuickSilver host stack or where the IPoIB settings on the compute nodes
are incompatible with the IB Management node (for example when a 4K
MTU is used on the compute nodes), it is recommended not to run IPoIB
on the IB management nodes.

Using Fast Fabric
The initial installation and verification process is best performed using the Fast
Fabric TUI menu system. The main menu can be invoked using the iba_config
command. The main menu is as follows:
