Building your own client kit 3–9
When a Voltaire InfiniBand Version 3.4.5 interconnect driver is used, the ARP resolution parameter on each
of the client nodes must be changed after the HP SFS client software has been installed on the client node.
This task is included in the installation instructions provided later in this chapter (see Step 11 in
Section 3.3.2).
3.2.3 Output from the SFS Client Enabler
The build_SFS_client.sh script creates output .rpm files in architecture-specific directories. You will
use these files for installing the client software on the client node. The following example indicates the output
file names for the x86_64 architecture using the 2.4.21-37.EL (RHEL3 Update 6) kernel:
• output/rpms/x86_64/kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL_SFS2.2_0_w4C12hp.x86_64.rpm
This file will not be present on SLES 9 SP3 systems, because the kernel is already patched and a new
kernel is not needed to use the HP SFS software on these systems.
• output/rpms/x86_64/lustre-1.4.6.4-
2.4.21_37.EL_SFS2.2_0_w4C12hpsmp_200609050206.x86_64.rpm
• output/rpms/x86_64/lustre-modules-1.4.6.4-
2.4.21_37.EL_SFS2.2_0_w4C12hpsmp_200609050206.x86_64.rpm
• output/rpms/x86_64/hpls-lustre-client-2.2-0.x86_64.rpm
• output/rpms/x86_64/hpls-diags-client-2.2-0.x86_64.rpm
The hpls-diags-client package provides HP SFS client diagnostic utilities.
• output/rpms/x86_64/gm-2.1.26-2.4.21_37.EL_SFS2.2_0_w4C12hp.x86_64.rpm
This file is only present if you built with support for a Myrinet interconnect driver.
• output/rpms/x86_64/qsnetmodules-2.4.21-
37.EL_SFS2.2_0_w4C12hpsmp.5.23.2qsnet.x86_64.rpm
This file is only present if you built with support for a Quadrics interconnect driver.
When building on a SLES 9 SP3 system, the RPM files will be under the /usr/src/packages/RPMS
directory.
CAUTION: There are other RPM files in the output directories; do not use these files.
3.2.4 Locating the python-ldap and hpls-diags-client packages
When you are installing the client software, you must install the python-ldap package, and you also have
the option of installing the hpls-diags-client package. When you use the SFS Client Enabler to build
your own HP SFS client kit, these files are not included in the kit. You can locate these packages as follows:
• python-ldap
For some distributions, the python-ldap package provided on the source media for the distribution
is not suitable for use with the HP SFS software. For such distributions, HP provides a modified version
of the python-ldap package in the appropriate directory for the client architecture/distribution
combination on the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client Software CD-ROM. If a modified
version of the package is provided for your client architecture/distribution, you must install that
version of the package.
If a modified version of the python-ldap package is not provided for your client architecture/
distribution on the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client Software CD-ROM, you must install
the python-ldap package provided in the source media for your distribution (if it is not already
installed).
