3.6.3 Solaris & IRIX

For Solaris & IRIX platforms, specific commands and syntax are not listed. Perform the following
steps using the appropriate commands for the OS used:
• Verifythat the correct number and type of disk devices are available on each SFS and Disk
Mover node.
• Create all necessary raw disk volumes to be used by the HPSS Disk Mover(s).
• On each Disk Mover node, measure the raw read and write I/O performance of all HPSS
disks and verify that they are at expected levels. Create one or more tables documenting
the results. The output of these test should be stored in/var/hpss/stats for later analysis.
3.7 Setup Network Parameters
• Install and configure all network interfaces and corresponding network connections.
Referto IBM's internal network technologies home page for resources on configuring and
tuning networks and TCP/IP.
The network interfaces section of thelsnode report from each node shows the network
interfaces that are configured. See also the network options section
To manually find out how many network interfaces are available:
% lsdev -C -S a -c if
% netstat -i
To manually determine if an SP switch is available:
% lsdev -C -S a -l css0
% netstat -i
To view all IP addresses associated with a local host (i.e., for all network interfaces):Note:
Does not work for SP switch interface.
% for x in `lsdev -C -S a -c if -F name`; do
lsattr -E -a netaddr -l $x -F value
done
To view additional information for each network interface:
% for x in `lsdev -C -S a -c if -F name`; do
ifconfig $x
done
Fornon-AIX platforms, the use the Name column from netstat -i in the ifconfig commands.
Note the IP address follows the inet phrase in the output from theifconfig command.
