5 – Detailed Descriptions of Command LineTools
Advanced Initialization and Verification - ibtest
to select different install packages, the defaults are iba ipoib mpi (i.e., IB
Stack, IPoIB and MPI). The default is the typical configuration for an MPI cluster
compute node. The -r option can be used to specify a release to install other
than the one that this host is presently running. The
$FF_PRODUCT.<VERSION>.tgz file (e.g., InfiniServPerf.2.1.tgz) is
expected to exist in the directory specified by -d (the default is the current working
directory) and will be copied to all the end nodes and installed.
5.5.1.2
upgrade
This is very similar to the load option, however all the nodes are upgraded
without affecting existing Fabric Access configuration. This is comparible to the
-U option when running INSTALL manually. The -r option can be used to
upgrade to a release different from this host, the default will be to upgrade to the
same release as the this host. The $FF_PRODUCT.<VERSION>.tgz file (e.g.,
InfiniServPerf.2.1.tgz) is expected to exist in the directory specified by
-d (the default is the current working directory) and will be copied to all the end
nodes and installed.
NOTE:
5.5.1.3
configipoib
Creates a ifcfg-ib1 configuration file for each node using the IP address
found via the resolver on the node (the standard Linux resolver is used via the
host command). If the host is not found, /etc/hosts on the node is checked.
The -i option can specify an IPoIB suffix to apply to the host name to create the
IPoIB host name for the node (that will be looked up in /etc/hosts). The default
suffix is -ib. The -m option can be used to specify a netmask other than the
default for the given class of IP address (such as when dividing a class A or B
address into smaller IP subnets). IPoIB will be configured for a static IP address
and will be autostarted at boot. The default /etc/sysconfig/ipoib.cfg file
will be used, which provides a redundant IPoIB configuration using both ports of
the first HCA in the system.
5.5.1.4
reboot
This reboots the given hosts and ensures they go down and come back up by
pinging them during the reboot process. The ping rate is slow (5 seconds), so
if the servers boot faster than this, false failures may be seen.
5-64
Only those Fabric Access components that are currenly installed will be
upgraded. This operation will fail for nodes that do not have Fabric Access
software installed.
