To define additional networks, use the command clnetworks. This tool is also called from compute_config.

clnetworks provides a text-based interface for selecting nodes, network interfaces and IP addresses. It guides the user through the creation of a network. It is also possible to modify an existing network. When you have finished creating or updating networks, clnetworks will ensure that each interface specified is configured correctly and the proper entries exist in each host’s /etc/hosts file.

Overview

The compute_config program will register the nodes with various programs.

Details

Execute the following command.

%/opt/clusterpack/bin/compute_config

Step 14. Set Up InfiniBand (Optional)

Background

ClusterPack configures IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) if the appropriate InfiniBand drivers are installed on the systems.

ClusterPack provides a method to re-install the InfiniBand drivers on the Compute Node using compute_config.

Overview

If the InfiniBand IPoIB drivers are installed prior to running compute_config, the InfiniBand HCA is detected and the administrator is given a choice to configure them.

The administrator can also configure the InfiniBand HCA with IP addresses by invoking /opt/clusterpack/bin/clnetworks. See the man pages for clnetworks for usage instructions.

Known issues

The is a known issue that IB drivers are not correctly configured following a Golden Image installation of a Compute Node.
