Installed Layout
The default installed layout for the InfiniPath software is described in the following
paragraphs.
The InfiniPath shared libraries are installed in:
/usr/lib for 32-bit applications
/usr/lib64 for 64-bit applications
MPI include files are in:
/usr/include
MPI programming examples and the source for several MPI benchmarks are in:
/usr/share/mpich/examples
InfiniPath utility programs, as well as MPI utilities and benchmarks, are installed
in:
/usr/bin
Documentation is found in:
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/doc/infinipath
/usr/share/doc/mpich-infinipath
Configuration files are found in:
/etc/sysconfig
Init scripts are found in:
/etc/init.d
The InfiniPath kernel modules in this release are installed in:
/lib/modules/‘uname -r‘/updates
Putting the modules in this directory avoids replacing kernel modules that may be
provided by your Linux distribution; you may want to use these modules if the
InfiniPath software is removed. Modules are renamed if they can cause conflicts.
For example, the module
ipath_core.ko was previously renamed to
ib_ipath.ko, but conflicts can arise if ipath_core.ko is still present. If it is found
during installation of the infinipath-kernel RPM,
ipath_core.ko is renamed
ipath_core.ko.bak.
NOTE:
Parallel command starters can be used for installation on multiple nodes, but
this subject is beyond the scope of this document.
