Starting and Stopping the InfiniPath Software
IB0056101-00 G 5-27
A
To check the configuration state, use the command:
$ chkconfig --list infinipath
To enable the driver, use the command (as root):
# chkconfig infinipath on 2345
To disable the driver on the next system boot, use the command (as root):
# chkconfig infinipath off
You can start, stop, or restart (as root) the InfiniPath support with:
# /etc/init.d/infinipath [start | stop | restart]
This method will not reboot the system. The following set of commands shows
how to use this script. Note the following:
If OpenSM is configured and running, it must be stopped before the
infinipath stop command, and must be started after the infinipath
start
command. Omit the commands to start/stop opensmd if you are not
running it on that node.
Omit the ifdown and ifup step if you are not using ipath_ether on that
node.
The sequence of commands to restart infinipath are as follows. Note that this
example assumes that ipath_ether is configured as eth2.
# /etc/init.d/opensmd stop
# ifdown eth2
# /etc/init.d/infinipath stop
...
# /etc/init.d/infinipath start
# ifup eth2
# /etc/init.d/opensmd start
The ... represents whatever activity you are engaged in after InfiniPath is
stopped.
NOTE:
This command does not stop and unload the driver if the driver is already
loaded.
