Step 2 Ground yourself using an approved ground wrist-strap. Step 3 Determine the direction that the switch will be installedand justified in the rack.

The direction that the switch will be justified determines which set of mounting brackets need to be removed in the next step.

Step 4 Remove one set of mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 5:

• If the switch will be justified towardthe bezel-side in the rack, then unscrew the mounting brackets

from the port-side of the switch.

• If the switch will be justified toward the port-side in the rack, then unscrew the mounting brackets

from the bezel-side of the switch.

ConfiguringandConnectingHostChannelExpansionCardforIBMBladeCenter

This section briefly describes configuring your InfiniBand host. Download the configuration software and an integrated suite of drivers including IPoIB, SRP, SDP, uDAPL and MPI from the Cisco Software Center at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center

Install the Host Channel Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter by doing the following:

Step 1 Power down the host system following proper grounding procedures. Step 2 Unpack the HCA module and insert it into an open 64-bit PCI or PCI-X slot. Step 3 Power on the host system.

Installing Host Channel Expansion Card Linux Drivers

Make sure your Linux kernel is supported. See www.cisco.com for a list of supported versions.

Cisco SFS 7008P InfiniBand Server Switch Installation and Configuration Note

78-17434-01 Rev. A0

Installing the Cisco SFS 7008P Switch into a Rack

To install the Host Channel Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter drivers after you have installed the HCA Expansion Card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Locate your downloaded software direcory. Step 2 Open a terminal or graphic window and access the top-level directory. Step 3 Execute the command ./tsinstall in a terminal window.

# cdmount ./tsinstall

This program automatically detects the available kernel and installs the appropriate drivers as RPM packages. By default, the files are saved in the /usr/local/cisco directory.

Step 4 Configure the IPoIB driver by assigning an IP address to interface ib0 and/or ib1, which corresponds to

the two HCA ports. IPoIB drivers load when the interfaces are used for the first time. To assign ib interfaces, enter ifconfig ib# ip address netmask netmask.

This example configures one HCA:

# ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 #

This example configures two HCAs:

# ifconfig ib0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # ifconfig ib2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

# ifconfig ib3 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 #

Step 5 Merge ib0 and ib1 for port-to-port redundancy, if desired. Step 6 (Optional) Configure MPI by following these steps:

• Make sure that your connections to the HCA uses port 1 of the first HCA. MPI requires the use of

HCA 1, port 1.

• Set up rsh or ssh on two nodes so that you can run commands between a remote and local node

without entering a login or password. This is required to use the MPI protocol.

• Either add paths to your environment PATH:

/usr/local/cisco/mpi/mpich/bin /usr/local/cisco/bin

Add directories to your PATH variable. For example:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cisco

Step 7 Configure all other drivers, including SDP.

Translated Safety Warnings

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

(S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers: Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
