Location Description
Primary Keeps a detailed account of the tuning process initiated by the
Estart command. It includes data from every tuning operation
since the current daemon on the primary node was initiated.
Primary A record of how many nodes were initialized.
Description
Monitors the switch for faults. It restarts the switch if a
fault is detected.
Monitors the adapter for interrupts that have not been
serviced. This is required because of a hardware
oversight in MSMU, in which there is a window in time
that causes it to hold interrupts and then forget to
introduce them.
Starts the daemons and IP configuration tools.
Tunes the switch and puts it into run phase. Also, kicks
off the route table generator and distributes the routes to
the nodes, by placing them in the etc/SP directory on
the control node.
This is the primary-node command to start the RS/6000
SP High Performance Switch. Estart_sw is called by
Estart. It is useful to note that the time-out variable
(LIMIT) for the Estart process is located in this file. This
may have to adjusted for systems that take longer to
tune than in other systems.
Sets a node as the primary node.
Stores switch protocol information in the System Data
Repository for a node or a series of nodes. Also
retrieves a topology files out of the SDR.
Controls the clock source for each switch board within
an SP cluster.
This sets up the IP interface to the switch.
Description
Logs all information on the last run of rc.switch. It will
indicate if this is a primary or secondary node, the
associated switch chip information, and IP address
information.
A copy the previous run of rc.switch.
Used by rc.switch to more easily parse out chip
connection information.
A log of the daemon.
A log of the monitor daemon.
Log files created by the switch support code.
