Q
Repeat the following steps on each additional IB Management Node:
1. (All) Install the additional Fabric Access Software components using the
procedure documented in the Fabric Access Software Users Guide. The IB
Management Node must have at least Fast Fabric, the IB Stack and IPoIB
installed and configured. For MPI clusters the IB Management Node should
also include the MPI Runtime and MPI Development packages, and if the user
desires to rebuild MPI itself, the IB Development package and MPI Source
packages will also be required.
NOTE:
2. (All) Copy the Fast Fabric configuration files from the initial IB Management
Node. At least the following files should be copied:
/etc/sysconfig/fastfabric.conf
/etc/sysconfig/iba/hosts
/etc/sysconfig/iba/allhosts
/etc/sysconfig/iba/ibnodes
/etc/sysconfig/iba/chassis
After copying the files, edit the hosts and allhosts files such that the file on each
IB Management Node omits itself from the hosts files (but lists all other IB
Management Nodes) and specifies itself in the allhosts file.
See
3. (Linux) Perform "Setup Password-less ssh/scp" in the "Host Setup via Fast
Fabric" menu and "Refresh ssh Known Hosts" in the "Host Admin via Fast
Fabric" menu.

Configure and Initialize Health Check Tools
For more information on the health check tools, see the detailed discussion in
"Health Check and Baselining Tools" on page 5-69. The Health check tools may
be run on one or more IB management nodes within the cluster. This procedure
should be followed on each IB management node from which the health check tools
will be used.
1. (All) Edit fastfabric,conf and review the following parameters:
FF_ANALYSIS_DIR, FF_ALL_ANALYSIS, FF_FABRIC_HEALTH,
FF_CHASSIS_CMDS,_FF_CHASSIS_HEALTH, and FF_ESM_CMDS.
FF_ALL_ANALYSIS should be updated to reflect the type of SM (esm or
hostsm).
2. (All) If using Embedded SM(s) in QLogic IB Chassis, create
/etc/sysconfig/iba/esm_chassis listing the chassis which are running SMs.

Do not uninstall or replace existing configuration files which were previous
created, especially IPoIB related configuration files.
