A

5 – Software Installation OpenFabrics Drivers and Services Configuration and Startup

Each CREATE block must specify a unique NAME. The NAME represents the Ethernet interface name that will be registered with the Linux operating system.

c.Format 3: Starting VNIC using DGID. Following is an example of a DGID and IOCGUID VNIC configuration. This configuration allows for the quickest start up of VNIC service:

{CREATE; NAME="eioc1"; DGID=0xfe8000000000000000066a0258000001;IOCGUID=0x66a0130 000001;

}

This example uses DGID, IOCGUID and IOCSTRING:

{CREATE; NAME="eioc1"; DGID=0xfe8000000000000000066a0258000001; IOCGUID=0x66a0130000001;

IOCSTRING="Chassis 0x00066A00010003F2, Slot 1, IOC 1";

}

4.Create VirtualNIC interface configuration files. For each Ethernet interface defined in the /etc/sysconfig/ics_inic.cfg file, create an interface configuration file, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<NAME>(or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<NAME>on Linux 2.6 kernels), where <NAME> is the value of the NAME field specified in the CREATE block.

Following is an example of an ifcfg-eiocxsetup for Red Hat systems:

DEVICE=eioc1

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=172.26.48.132

BROADCAST=172.26.63.130

NETMASK=255.255.240.0

NETWORK=172.26.48.0

ONBOOT=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

Following is an example of an ifcfg-eiocxsetup for SuSE and SLES systems:

BOOTPROTO=’static’

IPADDR=’172.26.48.130’

BROADCAST=’172.26.63.255’

NETMASK=’255.255.240.0’

NETWORK=’172.26.48.0’

STARTMODE=’hotplug’

TYPE=’Ethernet’
