address if you replace a control processor card. The TCP/IP address for the new
interconnect should remain the same.
12.12 Collecting QM500 Manufacturer Data (VPD)
The manufacturing (VPD) data, such as its part number and serial number, for
each QM500 PCI card is recorded in a file named vpd on each node. To obtain this
data from a node, use the following procedure:
1. Change default to the data directory as follows:
# cd /proc/qsnet/elan4/device0
2. Display the file content as follows:
# cat vpd
PN: QM500b
EC: XX
SN: K76A7A1BFPW955
FN: A1
MN: 0000

MV: 1.00
MS: 00000000
DT: 00

DS: 00

#
Use the following procedure to obtain the VDP data for all QM500 cards in all
the nodes
1. Log in to the administrative server
2. Run the following command:
# crsh -r all "nodename; cat /proc/qsnet/elan4/device0/vpd”
3. Data is displayed for each node in turn, in the same format shown in the
previous example. Each data set is preceded by the node name, such as
admin-0 or n3r0.
12.13 Running a Network Soak Test
On systems not running HP XC, perform a generic soak test as follows:
1. Run the qsnetstat command using the -l argument, as described in
Section 12.2.1.
2. Launch the /opt/qsnet/bin/qsnetsoak exerciser tool to generate heavy
data traffic on the network.
3. Repeat the qsnetstat command to obtain the results delta compared to the
preceding run, as described in Section 12.2.1.
12.14 Using the qsdiagadm Command
Use the qsdiagadm command to create the diagnostics database. This command
creates the database entries, sets the interconnect network type, and builds a link
