D Configuring Interconnect Switch Monitoring Cards
You must configure the Quadrics switch controller cards, the InfiniBand switch controller cards, and the
Myrinet monitoring line cards on the system interconnect to diagnose and debug problems with the system
interconnect.
Perform one of the following procedures to configure these cards:
• “Configure Quadrics Switch Controller Cards” (page 123)
• “Configure Myrinet Switch Monitoring Line Cards” (page 125)
• “Configure InfiniBand Switch Controller Cards” (page 127)
NOTE: You must reconfigure the switch monitoring line cards any time you change the system
configuration, then you must rerun the discover command.
D.1 Configure Quadrics Switch Controller Cards
The Quadrics switch controller card provides access to Quadrics switch control functions through an
Ethernet connection. The controller card runs a process that collects configuration and status information
from the switch.
Table D-1 and Table D-2 provide the switch names and associated IP addresses you need for the
configuration procedure. The IP addresses for the switch monitoring line cards is based on the swBase
address in the base_addr.ini file. The default address base for the switch monitoring line cards is
172.20.66, but if you modified the swBase value, the address base for the switch monitoring line cards
must change accordingly.
