4.Deselect Test this group only so you will be running tests on the entire cluster.

5.Run the checkadm script to ping all the nodes on the admin network.

#checkadm

Fix any errors before continuing. See the “Troubleshooting” (page 44) section for information.

6.If the cluster solution has an interconnect network other than the admin network (such as GigE or InfiniBand), run the checkic script to ping all nodes on the interconnection network. To run the script, open a terminal window and enter the following command.

#checkic

Fix any errors before continuing. See the “Troubleshooting” (page 44) section for information.

TIP: If all nodes are shown as green on the Node Status display (lower left corner of the Cluster Test GUI), you will get no errors from checkadm or checkic.

7.Run CrissCross Easy on the admin and interconnect networks to check the networks' functionality. The output of the CrissCross Easy test might indicate a slow network; that's okay and is to be expected.

The CrissCross test takes two to three minutes on a cluster of 350 nodes.

a.Select the admin network by choosing Admin from the Network: pull-down menu on the Cluster Test interface. Then, select Easy for the CrissCross test and enter the test parameters (it's suggested you use the default values). Select CrissCross to run the test on the admin network.

b.Select a GigE or InfiniBand network by choosing from the Network: pull-down menu on the Cluster Test interface. For this example, we choose InfiniBand. Select CrissCross to run the test on the interconnect (InfiniBand) network.

c.Select Clear Log to clear the output window.

8.If the CrissCross Easy test completes successfully, run CrissCross Stress on the interconnect network. The CrissCross Stress test takes approximately 30 minutes on a cluster of 350 nodes with InfiniBand interconnect.
