Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software
The InfiniPath driver software runs as a system service, normally started at system
startup. Normally you will not need to restart the software, but you may wish to do
so after installing a new InfiniPath release, or after changing driver options, or if
doing manual testing.
The following commands can be used to check or configure state. These methods
will not reboot the system.
To check the configuration state, use the command:
$ chkconfig --list infinipath
To enable the driver, use the command (as root):
# chkconfig infinipath on 2345
To disable the driver on the next system boot, use the command (as root):
# chkconfig infinipath off
NOTE: This does not stop and unload the driver, if it is already loaded.
You can start, stop, or restart (as root) the InfiniPath support with:
# /etc/init.d/infinipath [start | stop | restart]
This method will not reboot the system. The following set of commands shows how
this script can be used. Please take note of the following:
■
You should omit the commands to start/stop
opensmd
if you are not running it
on that node.
■
You should omit the
ifdown
and
ifup
step if you are not using
ipath_ether
on that node.
The sequence of commands to restart
infinipath
are given below. Note that this
next example assumes that
ipath_ether
is configured as
eth2
.
# /etc/init.d/opensmd stop
# ifdown eth2
# /etc/init.d/infinipath stop
...
# /etc/init.d/infinipath start
# ifup eth2
# /etc/init.d/opensmd start
The
...
represents whatever activity you are engaged in after InfiniPath is stopped.
An equivalent way to specify this is to use same sequence as above, except use
the
restart
command instead of
start
and
stop
