A – Installation Troubleshooting Version Number Conflict with opensm-*on RHEL5 Systems

In newer distributions, glibc is an RPM name. The 32-bit glibc is named similarly to:

glibc-2.3.4-2.i686.rpm OR glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm

Check your distribution for the exact RPM name.

ifup on ipath_ether on SLES 10 Reports "unknown device"

SLES 10 does not have all of the QLogic (formerly PathScale) hardware listed in its pciutils database. You may see error messages similar to the following after running the ifup command:

#ifup eth3

eth3 device: QLogic Corp Unknown device 0010 (rev 02)

This has no effect on ipath_ether, so this error message can be safely ignored.

Lockable Memory Error on Initial Installation of InfiniPath

During the first installation of InfiniPath software, /etc/initscript is created or modified to increase the amount of lockable memory (up to 128 MB) for normal users. This change will not take effect until the system is rebooted, and jobs may fail with error messages about locking memory or failing mmap. This error is described in the QLogic MPI Troubleshooting section Lock Enough Memory on

Nodes When Using a Batch Queuing System in the QLogic HCA and InfiniPath

Software User Guide.

This is not an issue when upgrading to a newer version of InfiniPath software.
