-<h2> </h2>\r
-<h2><u>Installation Specifics</u></h2>\r
-\r
-<p>User mode tools and diagnostics are installed in '%SystemDrive%\Program\r
-Files (x86)\WinOF'. Although driver modules initially reside in \r
-'%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\WinOF', when installed the Windows device \r
-installer relocates driver modules to %SystemRoot%\system32 & %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64'. \r
-DAT & DAPL runtime libraries are installed into %SystemRoot% in order to be \r
-accessible to user mode applications.<br>\r
-WinOF user mode executables are designed to be run from\r
-a Command Prompt window; see 'Start->Program Files-> Windows OpenFabrics-> Command Prompt'.</p>\r
-<p>'%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\WinOF' is appended to the system wide search \r
-path; new command windows created after the installation will have the updated \r
-%PATH% environment variable, hence will be able to access WinOF utilities.</p>\r
-\r
-<p>The \91default\92 installation installs \91released/free\92 (not\r
-checked/debug) versions of drivers and executables.</p>\r
-\r
-<p>A single instance of a subnet manager, opensm.exe, must be\r
-running on a fabric connected node in order for the Infiniband fabric to be\r
-configured and useful; either Windows or Linux opensm work well.</p>\r
-<p>It is recommended that OpenSM be run as a Windows service. A typical \r
-WinOF install will install OpenSM as a Windows service which \r
-is disabled; after an installation, choose your openSM node and start the openSM \r
-service. \r
-See the WinOF Manual for details on opensm as a service.<br>\r
-By selecting the 'OpenSM_service_enabled' feature, an OpenSM subnet \r
-management service will be automatically started. </p>\r
-\r
-<p>Note, the opensm.exe process must continue to run in order\r
-to maintain Infiniband fabric configuration. Should the opensm.exe process die,\r
-restart the service if not automatic or re-run opensm.exe in order to continue\r
-correct fabric operation.</p>\r
-\r
-<p>For more subnet management information, consult the Windows\r
-OpenFabrics manual.</p>\r

-\r
-<h2><u>How to Install</u></h2>\r
-\r
-<h3>Requirements</h3>\r
-\r
-<p>Install HCA hardware prior to installing the Windows OpenFabrics Release\r
-package. Upon reboot, cancel any attempts to install new device hardware from \r
-the "Found New Hardware Wizard".</p>\r
-\r
-<p>If you have previously installed openib-windows, Windows OpenFabrics\r
-packages or vendor supplied Infiniband packages, uninstall and reboot prior to\r
-installing this version of Windows OpenFabrics (WinOF).</p>\r
-\r
-<p>For an existing Windows OpenFabrics uninstall<br>\r
- Programs-> Windows OpenFabrics-> Uninstall WinOF<br>\r
- -or-<br>\r
- Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs-> Windows\r
-OpenFabrics->Remove.</p>\r
-<p>openib-windows uninstall:</p>\r
-\r
-<ol start=1 type=1>\r
- <li class=MsoNormal>Stop the openSM subnet manager if it is running on the \r
- local node.</li>\r
- <li class=MsoNormal>Disable any Local Area Connections which are bound to the\r
- IPoIB network adapter.</li>\r
- <li class=MsoNormal>Uninstall the IPoIB driver - My\r
- computer->Manage->Devices->Network Adapters->IPoIB*</li>\r
- <li class=MsoNormal>Uninstall the Infiniband HCA device; don't forget the \r
- System Device-> InfiniBand Fabric</li>\r
-</ol>\r
-\r
-<p> </p>\r
-\r
-<p><b>REBOOT</b></p>\r
-\r
-<p>Upon system restart, cancel the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' attempt to install \r
-drivers for newly discovered PCI device.</p>\r
-<p>'My Computer->Manage->Device Manager' should display\r
-'Other Devices->?PCI device' which is your Infiniband HCA device.</p>\r
-\r
-<h3><u>Install</u></h3>\r
-\r
-<blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'>\r
-\r
-<p>From a login with administrator privileges, double-click the\r
-WinOF_M-m_arch_setup.msi file to begin the Windows OpenFabrics installation; \r
-where '_arch_' can be (_x64_ for Intel EMT64 systems or amd64, _x86_ for x86\r
-compatible systems or _ia64_ for Intel IA64 systems). </p>\r
-\r
-<p>Follow the instructions.<br>\r
-Answer 'yes' or 'Continue' to any notifier windows which reference non-signed \r
-driver installation. These non-signed driver install questions can be disabled \r
-via 'My Computer->Properties->Hardware->Driver Signing->Ignore'.</p>\r
-<p>Bottom-line - WinOF drivers in this package are not WHQL'ed although they are \r
-built from driver source which has been WHQL'ed.</p>\r
-<p> </p>\r
-<p> <font size="4">**** WARNING ****</font></p>\r
-<blockquote>\r
- <p>Should any 'Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard' windows popup after the \r
- WinOF install has started, just ignore (window will disappear in a few \r
- seconds) or 'Cancel' the errant popup window. \r
- For Windows Server 2003 (SP1) you can safely ignore the errant FNHW popup \r
- window; for Windows XP (SP2) the errant FNHW popups need to be 'cancelled' \r
- in order for the WinOF install to proceed. The report back from Microsoft on these 'Found New Hardware Wizard' windows \r
- popping up is they are due to the fact the WinOF drivers are not Digitally \r
- signed (non-WHQL'ed) and hence are not trusted by Windows. Even though the \r
- Ignore warning on installation of non-signed drivers is enabled (My \r
- Computer->Properties->Hardware->Driver Signing->Ignore) the FNHW is still \r
- invoked. MS claims this is a 'feature'.</p>\r
- <p>An artifact of cancelling an errant 'Found New Hardware' popup window may \r
- induce an errant taskbar Information notifier/bubble indicating there may \r
- have been problems installing your hardware drivers;<br>\r
- IGNORE/cancel this information bubble, likely the device installation \r
- proceeded without error. Check the Device Manager views for the \r
- Infiniband HCA and IPoIB Network Adapters for initial verification of \r
- correct installation.</p>\r
- <p>You do need to answer 'Yes' or 'Continue' to those notifier windows which \r
- reference non-signed driver installation. If you have previously \r
- set My Computer->Properties->Hardware->Driver Signing->Ignore, then you will \r
- NOT be queried about installation of non-signed drivers; although the FNHW \r
- windows likely will occur.</p>\r
- <p>Should the install appear to hang, look around for occluded notifier windows \r
- waiting for a response which \r
- are covered by existing windows.<br>\r
- </p>\r

- <h3><u>Incomplete Previous Uninstall</u></h3>\r
- <p>Should the previous uninstall silently fail, the next installation \r
- can fail in the Driver Install phase with the following error:<br>\r
- DriverInstall - HCA Ret 2 Error 0<br>\r
- <br>\r
- At this juncture, check the Device Manager and uninstall the PCI \r
- device from 'InfiniBand Host Channel Adapters', and make sure you uninstall the system device\r
- 'InfiniBand Fabric'.<br>\r
- <br>\r
- <u><b>REBOOT</b></u> and retry the WinOF installation again.</div>\r
-</div>\r
-<h3><u>Correct Installation Validation</u></h3>\r
-<p>From the Device Manager you should find the following devices:</p>\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>InfiniBand Host Channel Adapters -> Infinihost</li>\r
- <li>System Devices -> InfiniBand Fabric</li>\r
- <li>Network Adapters -> OpenIB IPoIB Adapter (an Instance per HCA port).</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<blockquote>\r
- <h4>Validation Test</h4>\r
- <p>Open a WinOF command window</p>\r
- <ol>\r
- <li>Start->Program Files->Windows OpenFabrics -> Command \r
-Window</li>\r
- <li>run vstat.exe to view HCA configuration.</li>\r
- <li>If IPoIB is installed (Device Manager->Network Adapters), ping another node on the InfiniBand fabric 'ping a.b.c.d'<br>\r
- </li>\r
- </ol>\r
-</blockquote>\r
-<h3><u>OpenIB Subnet Management as a Windows Service</u></h3>\r
-<p>Limit the number of Subnet Managers on your fabric; one SM per fabric is \r
-sufficient, although redundant Subnet Managers are supported.</p>\r
-<ol>\r
- <li>After a 'typical' WinOF install, OpenSM is installed as a <b>disabled</b> \r
- Windows service named "InfiniBand Subnet Management". To start the OpenSM \r
- service, use My computer->Manage->Services and Applications->Services->InfiniBand Subnet Manager->Start.<br>\r
- Set the service properties to 'auto' in order to restart upon the next \r
- system reboot.<br>\r
- </li>\r
- <li>Install OpenSM as an automatic/running Windows service:<br>\r
- a) Request a 'Custom' install, selecting the 'OpenSM_service_enabled' feature. Once \r
- the install has completed, check that the Infiniband Subnet Manager service is \r
- running: My computer->Manage->Services and Applications->Services->InfiniBand Subnet \r
- Manager.<br>\r
- </li>\r
- <li>Consult the OpenSM log file @ %SystemRoot%\temp\osm.log to see what \r
- OpenSM thinks is happening.</li>\r
-</ol>\r
-<p> </p>\r
-<h3><u>Local Network Adapter Ordering</u></h3>\r
-<p>Local Network Adapter ordering, which results in the IP address advertised \r
-for the system, can be managed from<br> 'My Network Places-> Advanced Tab-> Advanced settings'<br>From the Advanced settings display, the ordering \r
-of Local Network Adapters can be \r
-reordered after the IPoIB Local Network Adapters have been installed. Please \r
-check for your desired adapter ordering.<br> </p>\r
-<h3><u>Which WinOF release is installed</u>?</h3>\r
-<ol>\r
- <li>Add/Remove Programs entry identifies the WinOF release version.</li>\r
- <li>Start->Programs->Windows OpenFabrics->Release Notes \r
-(2nd Line)</li>\r
- <li>Driver confirmation:<br> Query My Computer-> Manage-> Device Manager-> Network \r
-Adapters-> OpenIB IPoIB Adapter-> Properties-> Driver-> Details<br> The subversion (svn) revision number will be listed under \r
-'Driver Version'. The svn revision number will match what's listed in the \r
-release<br> notes.</li>\r
- <li>Hold the mouse point over \Program Files(x86)\WinOF\ib_read_bw.exe to display \r
-the file version; the 4th field is the svn revision number.</li>\r
-</ol>\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>WinOF 1.0 is based on openib-windows <b><u>svn revision 614</u></b> @\r
- <a href="http://openib.tc.cornell.edu/downloads/binaries/">http://openib.tc.cornell.edu/downloads/binaries/</a> .<br>\r
- </li>\r
- <li>WinOF 1.0.1 is based on openib-windows <b><u>svn revision 864</u></b>.</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<h3> </h3>\r
-<h3><u>DAT & uDAPL Configuration</u></h3>\r
-<p align="left">In order for DAT/DAPL programs to execute correctly, the 'dat.dll' \r
-file must be present in the current directory,\r
-%SystemRoot% or in the library search path.</p>\r
-<p align="left">WinOF installation places the dat.dll and dapl.dll \r
-files in the '%SystemRoot%' \r
-folder (a.k.a. \Windows).</p>\r
-<p align="left">The DAT/DAPL configuration file by convention is defined as \r
-'%SystemDrive%\DAT\dat.conf'. If the file '%SystemDrive%\DAT\dat.conf' does not exist, \r
-a template configuration file will be installed as '%SystemDrive%\DAT\dat.conf'.<br>\r
-In order to preserve existing installations, the dat.conf file is not \r
-automatically installed if '%SystemDrive%\DAT\dat.conf' exists.<br>\r
-A sample dat.conf file is always installed as '\Program Files (x86)\WinOF\dat.conf \r
-'.</p>\r
-<p align="left">The default DAT configuration file specification can be overridden by use \r
-of the environment variable DAT_OVERRIDE. Such that 'DAT_OVERRIDE=D:\MyDAT\test.conf' \r
-would be a valid override specification.</p>\r
-<p align="left">Within the dat.conf file, the DAPL library specification can be \r
-located as the 5th whitespace separated line argument. By default the DAPL \r
-library file is installed as %WINDIR%\dapl.dll'.</p>\r
-<p align="left">Should you choose to relocate the DAPL library file to a folder \r
-where whitespace appears in the full library path specification, then the full \r
-library file specification must be contained within double-quotes. A side effect \r
-of the double-quotes is the library specification is treated as a Windows string \r
-which implies the '\' (backslash character) is treated as an 'escape' character. \r
-Hence all backslashes in the library path must be duplicated when enclosed in \r
-double-quotes (e.g., "C:\\Programs Files (x86)\\WinOF\\dapl.dll").</p>\r
-<h4 align="left"><span style="font-weight: 400">DAT/DAPL version 2.0 runtime \r
-libraries are identified as dat2.dll and dapl2.dll, both in %SystemRoot%; see \r
-manual for further details.<br>\r
- </span></h4>\r
-<h3 align="left"><u>SRP - SCSI RDMA Protocol Driver Installation</u></h3>\r
-<p align="left">The WinOF stack does not install the SRP driver by default. \r
-If SRP is\r
-selected in the custom installation window, it will only be copied during WinOF\r
-installation. To complete the SRP driver installation, an SRP target must be\r
-detected; a Subnet Manager must be running somewhere in the InfiniBand subnet.<br>\r
-<br>\r
-Upon the detection of an SRP target, the "New Hardware Found" Wizard pops up.<br>\r
-- Select Install Automatically and click Next. This installs the I/O unit \r
-device.<br>\r
-<br>\r
-Once completed, the "New Hardware Found" Wizard pops up again.<br>\r
-- Select Install Automatically and click Next. This installs the SRP driver.<br>\r
