This opens the Software Selection window.
Step 5. Change the Source Host Name, if necessary, and then enter the mount point of the drive in the
Source Depot Path field. Select the
OK button to return to the Software Selection window.
Step 6. The Software Selection window now contains a list of available software to install.
Step 7. Highlight the HP Fabric Clustering System for InfiniBand software:
IB4X-00 -> B.11.23.01 PCI-X InfiniBand; Supptd HW=AB286A
Choose
Mark for Install from the Actions menu; this chooses the highlighted software.
You can also install the IPoIB software at this time as it is part of this same bundle to enable it to
be functional. It can also be installed later if you choose to not install it now.
Step 8. From the Actions menu, select the Install... menu, and then choose
Install. This begins product
installation and opens the Install Analysis window.
Step 9. Select the
OK button in the Install Analysis window when the Status field displays a Ready
message.
Step 10. Select the
YES button in the Confirmation window to start software installation.
swinstall loads the fileset, runs the control script for the filesets, and builds the kernel. When the
processing is finished, the Status field displays a Ready message. Select Done and then the Note
window opens.
Step 11. Select the
OK button in the Note window to reboot. The user interface disappears and the system
reboots.
When the system comes back up, log on to the system as root and view the
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log and /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log files to view error or warning
messages that may have occurred during the installation.
Step 12. Verify that all installed fabric adapters have a software state of
CLAIMED, by running the ioscan
-fk -C ib command.
