5 – Software Installation Configuring the InfiniPath Drivers
The Globally Unique IDentifer (GUID) can also be returned by running:
#ipath_control -i
$Id: QLogic Release2.2 $ $Date:
00:Version: ChipABI 2.0, InfiniPath_QHT7140, InfiniPath1 3.2, PCI 2, SW Compat 2
00:Status: 0xe1 Initted Present IB_link_up IB_configured
00:LID=0x30 MLID=0x0 GUID=00:11:75:00:00:04:e0:11 Serial: 1236070407
Removing the middle two 00:00 octets from the GUID in the above output will form the MAC address.
If either Step 1 or Step 2 fails, the problem must be found and corrected before continuing. Verify that the RPMs are installed correctly, and that infinipath has started correctly. If problems continue, run
3.Edit the file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules
If this file does not exist, skip to Step 4.
Check each of the lines, starting with SUBSYSTEM=, to find the highest numbered interface. (For standard motherboards, the highest numbered interface will typically be 1.)
Add a new line at the end of the file, incrementing the interface number by one. In this example, it becomes eth2. The new line will look like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="$MAC", IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth2"
This will appear as a single line in the file. $MAC is replaced by the string from Step 2.
4.Create the network module file:
/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-eth-id-$MAC
Add the following lines to the file:
MODULE=ipath_ether STARTMODE=auto
This step will cause the ipath_ether Ethernet driver to be loaded and configured during system startup.
5.Create the network configuration file:
