No InfiniBand Graphs with Firmware Older Than Version 3.4.2 |
 |
The HP Graph system
status graphs in Nagios require a feature in the InfiniBand software
that was first implemented in firmware version 3.4.2.
The switch is ignored by the graph subsystem if
older firmware is configured, and the following message is displayed
during cluster_config processing:
Executing C52xcgraph gconfigure
Failed to find any Infiniband ports
.

Follow this procedure to determine the current
version of the InfiniBand firmware:
Use the telnet command to access the InfiniBand switch:
# telnet ir0n00
Trying 172.20.66.1...
Connected to IR0N00 (172.20.66.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

Exit from the switch connection:
If you upgrade the InfiniBand software, invoke
the /opt/hptc/hpcgraph/sbin/hpcgraph-setup script
to add graphs for the switches that have been upgraded.
If the hardware configuration contains more than
one InfiniBand switch, and some switches are installed with firmware
older than 3.4.2 and some switches are installed with newer versions
of firmware, ports on the newer switches are reported on the graphs.
In addition, you can safely invoke the /opt/hptc/hpcgraph/sbin/hpcgraph-setup to add the upgraded ports to the graphs without erasing the historical
data for the older switches.
