An integrated suite of drivers is provided, including IPoIB, SRP, SDP, uDAPL and MPI .
a. Make sure your Linux kernel is supported. Contact the Technical Support website at
http://www.topspin.com/support/
b. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM is provided in the box
with the Switched Computing system.
c. (Optional) Mount the file-system for the CD-ROM drive if your platform does not auto-mount
devices.
d. Open a terminal or graphic window and access the top-level directory on the CD-ROM
e. Execute the command ./tsinstall in a terminal window. This program automatically detects the
available kernel and installs the appropriate drivers as RPM packages. By default, topspin files
are saved in the /usr/local/topspin directory.
4. Configure the HCA drivers.
a. Configure the IPoIB driver by assigning an IP address to interface ib0 and/or ib1, which
corresponds to the two HCA ports. IPoIB drivers load when the interfaces are used for the first
time.
To assign ib interfaces, enter ifconfig ib# ip address netmask netmask:
Example of One HCA
Example of Two HCAs
a. (Optional) Configure MPI.
• Setup rsh or ssh on two nodes so that you can run commands between a remote and local
node without entering a login or password. This is required to use the MPI protocol.
• Add paths to your environment PATH:
/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin
/usr/local/topspin/bin
or
• Add the paths for all users by adding the following line to your /etc/profile.d script:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin:/usr/local/topspin/bin
b. Configure all other drivers, including SDP.
Refer to the Host Channel Adapter Installation Guide for instructions.
