Further Information on Configuring and Loading Drivers

# /etc/init.d/opensmd stop
# ifdown eth2
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart
# ifup eth2
# /etc/init.d/opensmd start
NOTE:
You can check to see if opensmd is running by using the following command; if
there is no output, opensmd is not configured to run:
# /sbin/chkconfig --list opensmd | grep -w on
You can check to see if ipath_ether is running by using the following command.
If it prints no output, it is not running.
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep ipath_ether
If there is output, you should look at the output from this command to determine if
it is configured:
$ /sbin/ifconfig -a
Finally, if you need to find which InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules are running,
try the following command:
$ lsmod | egrep 'ipath_|ib_|rdma_|findex'

Rebuilding or Reinstalling the Drivers

If you upgrade the kernel then you must reboot and then rebuild or reinstall the
InfiniPath kernel modules (drivers).
To rebuild the drivers do the following (as root):
# cd /usr/src/infinipath/drivers
# ./make-install.sh
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart
To reinstall the InfiniPath kernel modules, do the following (as root):
# rpm -U --replacepkgs infinipath-kernel-*
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart

Further Information on Configuring and Loading Drivers
See the modprobe(8), modprobe.conf(5), and lsmod(8), man pages for
more information. Also see the file:
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

Restarting InfiniPath will terminate any InfiniPath MPI processes, as well
as any OpenFabrics processes that are running at the time. Processes
using networking over ipath_ether will return errors.
