Summary and Descriptions of Useful Programs<br />
If the updates directory is present, but empty except for the subdirectory<br />
kernel, then an OFED install is probably being used, and the ident string will<br />
be empty. For example:<br />
$ cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates<br />
$ ls<br />
kernel<br />
$ cd kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/<br />
lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib<br />
$ ident ib_qib.ko<br />
ib_qib.ko:<br />
ident warning: no id keywords in ib_qib.ko<br />
ipathbug-helper<br />
ipath_checkout<br />
NOTE:<br />
ident is in the optional rcs RPM, and is not always installed.<br />
The tool ipathbug-helper is useful for verifying homogeneity. It is installed<br />
from the infinipath RPM. Before contacting <strong>QLogic</strong> Technical Support, run this<br />
script on the head node of your cluster and the compute nodes that you suspect<br />
are having problems. Looking at the output often helps you find the problem. Run<br />
ipathbug-helper on several nodes and examine the output for differences.<br />
It is best to run ipathbug-helper with root privilege, since some of the queries<br />
it makes require this level of privilege. There is also a --verbose parameter that<br />
increases the amount of gathered information.<br />
If you cannot see the problem, send the stdout output to your reseller, along with<br />
information on the version of the InfiniPath software you are using.<br />
The ipath_checkout tool is a bash script that verifies that the installation is<br />
correct and that all the nodes of the network are functioning and mutually<br />
connected by the InfiniPath fabric. It is installed from the infinipath RPM. It<br />
must be run on a front end node, and requires specification of a nodefile. For<br />
example:<br />
$ ipath_checkout [options] nodefile<br />
The nodefile lists the hostnames of the nodes of the cluster, one hostname per<br />
line. The format of nodefile is as follows:<br />
hostname1<br />
hostname2<br />
