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.

Managing the Switch The Switch can be used without being managed. You can manage it using its Command Line Interface (CLI) - a text-based interface accessible through a direct serial connection, Telnet over IP, or SSH over IP.

HP Fabric Clustering System Installation Prerequisites

Before installing the HP Fabric Clustering System, ensure that the following hardware and software prerequisites are met:

•HP requires all systems in the fabric to use both the same HP-UX OS software version, and the same HP-UX Fabric Clustering System for InfiniBand software version, such as version B.11.23.07 or B.11.31.08.

•HP requires all systems in the fabric to use the same bundle (i.e., IB4X-00 for the AH304A, 410533-B21, AB286C, and AD313A).

•HP requires all switches in the fabric to use the same firmware image version such as:

HP-374305-001-Release-2.5.0hp-build014.img

•Check the HP 4X Fabric Adapter Release Notes for known problems, required patches, or other information needed for installation, available at http://www.docs.hp.com in the I/O Cards and Networking Software section.

The latest switch firmware and is available online at: http://support.hp.com

1.Select Software and Driver downloads.

2.Enter your product name.

3.Click the double arrow.

Refer to the section “Configuration, Image, and Log Files” (page 84).

•Confirm that the HP Fabric adapter and software is supported on the HP server and IO slot chosen; see HP Fabric Clustering System Support Matrix, available at http://www.docs.hp.com in the I/O Cards and Networking Software section.

•Each 448262-B21, AH304A, 410533-B21, AD313A, or AB286C Host Channel Adapter card requires 512 MB host memory in supported servers.

•To use the Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) protocol, see “Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB)” (page 49) (optional).

•The installed version of IP Filter in HP-UX 11i v2 systems must be higher than “B9901AA A.03.05.06 HP IPFilter 3.5alpha5”.

•Check the cluster configuration plan for information on where to install adapters, switches, and cable guides, and where cables are to be routed.

For more information about the configuration plan, please refer to the “Installation Planning” (page 33).

•Check your server’s documentation to see if additional tools may be required for component installation.

•For specific instructions on adapter installation, see system-specific documentation on “installing networking adapters” for each server that adapters will be installed into.

•On-Line Addition and Replacement (OL*) of HP Fabric adapters is supported on HP Fabric Clustering System version B.11.23.02 or newer on HP-UX 11i v2 systems, with a couple of limitations; see “On-Line Addition and Replacement Operations (OL*)” (page 39).

•Confirm that there are cables of proper length to make connections in the fabric (adapter to adapter, adapter to switch, or switch to switch).
