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.
To configure these cards, follow one of these procedures:
• “Configuring Quadrics Switch Controller Cards” (page 197)
• “Configuring Myrinet Switch Monitoring Line Cards” (page 200)
• “Configuring InfiniBand Switch Controller Cards” (page 201)
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 Configuring 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.
