Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the RS/6000 SP System

For an SP system, the installation tasks must be performed on each node. You must
make the installation files available and then install them on all the relevant nodes. This
chapter discusses the following tasks to enable you to install the device driver on the
RS/6000 SP System:
v Checking System Prerequisites
v Installing Software on the Control Workstation ( if the device driver is not in the
lppsource directory)
v Installing Device Drivers on the SP Nodes ( if the device driver and additional
software are not already installed)
Perform the following tasks on the Control Workstation. If you are unfamiliar with the
dsh command, refer to one of the following Parallel System Support Program (PSSP)
publications:
v Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Administration Guide
v Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Command and Technical Reference
If you cannot use the dsh command because of the setup at your site, then use the
telnet command to each node. Then perform the steps below, beginning with step 5,
and omitting the dsh prefix.
