5.5.7.3 Monitoring Intel coprocessors
If your client nodes contain Intel coprocessors, you can monitor the coprocessors with HP Insight
CMU.
Install the desired coprocessor drivers on your client nodes and verify the coprocessors are working.
Use one of the following processes to install the drivers:
Install manually
1. Install the coprocessor driver manually on one of the client nodes.
2. Backup the client image.
3. Clone the remaining clients with this new image.
Deploy directly to running clients
NOTE: An example of installing the coprocessor driver follows. Other configuration steps may
be necessary to configure the coprocessor hardware and environment. See the driver and
coprocessor documentation to determine possible additional steps.
1. Distribute your coprocessor driver to your clients. Select your coprocessor-enabled clients from
the list of clients in the Resources tree of the GUI.
2. Right-click on PDCP (Distributed Copy).
3. Enter the location of the coprocessor driver file (typically a .tgz file) into Source.
4. Enter /tmp into the Destination.
5. Click OK to copy the file to /tmp on the selected clients.
6. Select the same set of resources as in step 1 and right-click on Multiple Windows Broadcast.
7. When the windows appear, select the Console window so that typed commands are issued
to all windows.
8. Install the driver as follows:
NOTE: The following steps are an example of installing the driver. See the driver
readme.txt file for specifics on installing your driver.
a. # cd /tmp
b. # tar xvzf driver-file.tgz
c. # cd created-driver-directory
d. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
# sudo yum install --nogpgcheck --noplugins --disablerepo=* *.rpm
e. For SUSE Enterprise Linux Server:
# sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks install *.rpm
f. If this is the first time installing the driver, initialize the MIC cards:
# sudo micctrl initdefaults
g. Restart the driver:
# sudo micctrl –r
h. Verify the driver is loaded and the coprocessors are initialized and ready:
# sudo micctrl status mic0: ready
mic1: ready
i. Start up the coprocessors:
# service mpss start
j. Verify the cards are seen by the OS and are working:
# /opt/intel/mic/bin/micinfo
