The information in this appendix applies only to cluster
platforms with a QsNetII interconnect.
During the processing of the cluster_config utility,
the swmlogger gconfig script prompts you to supply the
network type of the system. The network type reflects the maximum number
of ports the switch can support, and the network type is used to create the qsnet diagnostics
database. The QsNetII diagnostic database utilities
will not work properly if you specify an incorrect network type.
QsNetII currently supports the
following network types: QMS8, QMS16, QMS32, QMS64, QMS128, QMF256, and QMF1024,
where the digits represent the maximum number of ports.
Follow this procedure to determine the network type:
View the following file to determine
the NumLevels value:
# cat /proc/qsnet/elan4/device0/position
NodeId 7
NumLevels 2
NumNodes 16 |
Use the information shown in Table H-1 to determine the network
type based on the NumLevels value you obtained in the previous
step and the maximum number of ports in the switch.
Table H-1 Network Type Based on System Topology
| NumLevels Value | Network Type |
|---|
| 1 | QMS8 |
| 2 | QMS16 |
| 2 | QMS32 |
| 3 (this is a 64-way full bandwidth system) | QMS64 |
| 3 (this is a 128-way reduced bandwidth system) | QMS128 |
| 4 | QMF256 |
| 5 | QMF1024 |
