a. Configure the IPoIB driver by assigning an IP address to interface ib0 and/or ib1, which

Example of One HCA
Example of Two HCAs
a. (Optional) Configure MPI.
• Make sure that your connections to the HCA uses port 1 of the first HCA. MPI requires
the use of HCA 1, port 1.
• Setup rsh or ssh on two nodes so that you can run commands between a remote and local
node without entering a login or password. This is required to use the MPI protocol.
• Add paths to your environment PATH:
/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin
/usr/local/topspin/bin
or
• Add the paths for all users by adding the following line to your /etc/profile.d script:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin:/usr/local/topspin/bin
b. Configure all other drivers, including SDP.
