Q
NOTE:
The chassis must be running firmware version 4.0.0.4.3 or later to perform
this function. If the chassis is not up to this level, it will need to be manually
updated via the chassis GUI. See the
SilverStorm 9000 Users Guide
for
more information.
NOTE:
Consult the relevant chassis firmware release notes to ensure any
prerequisites for the upgrade to the new firmware level have been met
prior to performing the upgrade via Fast Fabric.
When prompted:
Multiple Firmware files and/or Directories may be space
separated
Shell wildcards may be used
For Directories all .pkg files in the directory tree will be used
Enter Files/Directories to use (or none):
specify the directory where the relevant firmware files have been stored. This can
be the mount point of the CD or the directory to which the files were copied in a
previous step.
Since the fabric is not yet operational, it's recommended to answer "y" to:
Would you like to run the firmware now? [n]:
Fast Fabric will ensure that all chassis are running the firmware level provided and
install and/or reboot each chassis as needed
If any chassis fails to be updated, use the "View ibtest result files" option to review
the result files from the update. Refer to the section “Interpreting the ibtest log files”
on page 5-68for more details.
6.
(Switch)
If there are any other operations which need to be performed on all
chassis, they may be performed using the "Run a command on all chassis"
option.Each time this is executed a single chassis CLI command may be
specified to be executed against all selected chassis. Using such commands,
additional setup or verification of the chassis may be performed.
3.5
Installing and Configuring the Subnet Manager
(All)
At this point the subnet manager (SM) for the fabric must be installed or
enabled. Consult the
QuickSilver Fabric Manager and Fabric Viewer Users Guide
for information on how to install, enable and configure the SM.
When using the QuickSilver host-based SM, a typical installation will place Fast
Fabric and the host SM on the same IB Management Node. If desired, it is also
valid to place Fast Fabric on its own independent management node, perhaps along
with other 3rd party management applications (such as MPI job schedulers, etc).
