4 Installing HP Fabric Clustering System
The installation procedure for the HP Fabric Clustering System installs the Switch, Host Channel Adapter
(HCA), cables, cable guide, and gets the system up and running.
HP Fabric Clustering System Installation Prerequisites
Before installing HP Fabric Clustering System, ensure that the following hardware and software
prerequisites are met:
•Check the HP Fabric Clustering System Release Notes for known problems, required patches, or other
information needed for installation, available at http://www.docs.hp.com in the Networking &
Communications section.
• Confirm that the adapter and software is supported on the HP Integrity server and IO slot chosen, see the
HP Fabric Clustering System Support Matrix, available at http://www.docs.hp.com in the Networking &
Communications section.
• Determine where the switch is to be installed and which servers are to have an HCA installed.
• To use the Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) protocol, certain patches are required, along with
installing the IPoIB software itself, see “Internet Protocol over InfiniBand‘ (IPoIB)” on page 37 (optional).
• The installed version of IP Filter must be higher than “B9901AA A.03.05.06 HP IPFilter 3.5alpha5”, see
“IP Filter Product” on page 119 for symptoms.
• Check the cluster configuration plan for information on where to install adapters, switches, and cable
guides, and where cables are to be routed.
