Q-Logic IB6054601-00 D manual Add the following lines to the file

2 – InfiniPath Cluster Administration Configuration and Startup

Q

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="/sbin/ rename_netiface %k eth2"

This will appear as a single line in the file. $MAC is replaced by the string from step 2 above.

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 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

If you are using DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses), add these lines to the file:

STARTMODE=onboot

BOOTPROTO=dhcp NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’ _nm_name=eth-id-$MAC

Proceed to Step 6.

If you are you are using static IP addresses (not DHCP), add these lines to the file:

STARTMODE=onboot

BOOTPROTO=static NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’ NETWORK=192.168.5.0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.5.255 IPADDR=192.168.5.211 _nm_name=eth-id-$MAC

Make sure that you substitute your own IP address for the sample IPADDR shown here. The BROADCAST, NETMASK, and NETWORK lines need to match for your network.
