Installing the HP SFS client software on RHEL and SLES 9 SP3 systems (new installations) 3–15
hpls-lustre-client-version_number.rpm \
hpls-diags-client-version_number.rpm
NOTE: The kernel package makes a callout to the new-kernel-pkg utility to update the boot
loader with the new kernel image. Ensure that the correct boot loader (GRUB, Lilo, and so on)
has been updated.
The installation of the package does not necessarily make the new kernel the default for
booting—you may need to edit the appropriate bootloader configuration file so that the new
kernel is selected as the default for booting.
When you install the lustre-modules.rpm file, the following messages may be displayed. You
can ignore these messages:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.21-40.EL_SFS2.2_0/kernel/net/lustre/kviblnd.o

7. Use the name of the kernel RPM file to determine the kernel version by entering the following
command:
# echo kernel_rpm_name | sed -e ’s/kernel\-\(.*\)\.[^\.]*\.rpm/\1/’
-e ’s/\(smp\)-\(.*\)/\2\1/’
8. Update the kernel module database by entering the following command:
# depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map-kernel_version kernel_version
where kernel_version is the kernel version determined in the previous step, for example,
2.4.21-2099X5smp.
9. Reboot the system to boot the new kernel, as follows:
# reboot
10. If a Voltaire InfiniBand interconnect is used, you must configure an IP address for the ipoib0
interface on the client node. This IP address, which is not automatically configured by the
voltaireibhost service, is required for Lustre to be able to use the InfiniBand interconnect.
For example, to configure an address for the ipoib0 interface on an RHEL 3 system, add an
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ipob0 script (similar to the scripts used for the
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces) with the appropriate address and then restart the network service. The
following is an example of such a script:
DEVICE=ipoib0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.‘ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | awk ’{print \$2}’ | awk -F
: ’{print \$2}’ | awk -F . ’{print\$4}’‘
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
MTU=1500
