5 – Software Installation Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software

To check the configuration state, use the command:

$ chkconfig --list infinipath

To enable the driver, use the command (as root):

#chkconfig infinipath on 2345

To disable the driver on the next system boot, use the command (as root):

#chkconfig infinipath off

NOTE:

This command does not stop and unload the driver if the driver is already loaded.

You can start, stop, or restart (as root) the InfiniPath support with:

#/etc/init.d/infinipath [start stop restart]

This method will not reboot the system. The following set of commands shows how to use this script. Note the following:

„If OpenSM is configured and running, it must be stopped before the infinipath stop command, and must be started after the infinipath start command. Omit the commands to start/stop opensmd if you are not running it on that node.

„Omit the ifdown and ifup step if you are not using ipath_ether on that node.

The sequence of commands to restart infinipath are as follows. Note that this example assumes that ipath_ether is configured as eth2.

#/etc/init.d/opensmd stop

#ifdown eth2

#/etc/init.d/infinipath stop

...

#/etc/init.d/infinipath start

#ifup eth2

#/etc/init.d/opensmd start

The ... represents whatever activity you are engaged in after InfiniPath is stopped.
