InfiniBand setup
The configured InfiniBand network is 192.168.123.0. The system comes pre-configured with a
random IP address from that network.
Running the VCA Setup procedure will alter that IP address 192.168.123.xxx, where xxx are
the last 8 bits of the chosen IP address for
172.16.0.214, the InfiniBand address will be set to 192.168.123.214.
InfiniBand is only used for internal communication between the Iray instances on different
nodes and does not need to be routed to any other network.

Software updates
This section describes how to upgrade an existing installation and how to find and install

Notes:
1 For updates and installations, the Quadro VCA must be connected to the Internet.
2 When upgrading the VCA Manager on multiple Quadro VCAs (cluster), the VCA Man-
ager has to be shutdown before upgrading. It can be shutdown from the VCA Manager
tools menu.
3 If you use multiple VCAs in a rack, each VCA has to be updated individually.

tion.
1 Login to the system with the iray Linux account and run the
utility.
sudo yum check-update nvidia*
