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: 2007-09-05-04:16 $

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 ipathbug-helperand report the results to your reseller or InfiniPath support organization.

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:

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth2
