Installation Overview & Planning

Installing HP Fabric Clustering System

Step	1.	Log on to the system as root.
Step	2.	Insert the software media into the appropriate drive. If the software is being loaded from a
		CD-ROM, go to step 3; otherwise, go to step 4. The software can also be located at
		http://www.software.hp.com.
Step	3.	Mount the CD-ROM drive by using the following command at the command prompt:
		$ mount device_name
		where device_name is the name assigned to the CD-ROM drive.
Step	4.	Run the swinstall program using the following command:
		$ /usr/sbin/swinstall
		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 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.
