Create a Temporary Network Map for
Later Reference
Before you create the SCI configuration file,
sci_config.hpc
, sketch out a rough
map of the physical network connections and identify each SCI adapter by its serial
number. Look on the connector panel of the node. An adapter’s serial number will be
printed on a white label in the upper left corner of the adapter‘s connector. It is
usually a four- or five-digit number.
Figure 3–1 shows an example of a temporary map of a four-node configuration
without striping—that is, with one SCI network adapter connection per node.
This information will make it easier to verify that the adapter ID values specified in
the
sci_config.hp
c file match the actual values assigned by the device driver.
Instructions for using this map are provided in the section “SCI Configuration
Templates” on page 20.
