5 – Software Installation Starting the InfiniPath Service

S

Other OFED-installed modules may also be in this directory; these are also renamed if found during the install process.

Starting the InfiniPath Service

If this is the initial installation of InfiniPath (see “Lockable Memory Error on Initial Installation of InfiniPath” on page A-7), or if you have installed VNIC with the OpenFabrics RPM set, reboot after installing.

If this is an upgrade, you can restart the InfiniPath service without rebooting. To enable the driver, run the command (as root):

#chkconfig infinipath on 2345

Then start the InfiniPath support (as root) by typing:

#/etc/init.d/infinipath start

Complete information about starting, stopping, and restarting the services are in “Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software” on page 5-26.

When all of the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics software has been installed correctly, the default settings at startup are as follows:

„InfiniPath ib_ipath is enabled.

„InfiniPath ipath_ether is not running until it is configured. See “Configuring the ipath_ether Network Interface” on page 5-12for configuration instructions.

„OpenFabrics IPoIB is not running until it is configured. Once enabled, IPoIB is running in connected mode. See “Configuring the IPoIB Network Interface” on page 5-17for configuration instructions.

„OFED SRP is not running until the module is loaded and the SRP devices on the fabric have been discovered.

„VNIC is not running until it is configured.

„OpenSM is enabled on startup. Either install it on only one node, or disable it on all nodes except where it will be used as an SM.

Other optional drivers can now be configured and enabled, as described in “InfiniPath and OpenFabrics Driver Overview” on page 5-11, “Configuring the InfiniPath Drivers” on page 5-11, and “OpenFabrics Drivers and Services Configuration and Startup” on page 5-16.
