Installation Specifics

- -

All installed files are located in '%SystemDrive%\Program -Files\OpenFabrics Windows'.

-

 

-

Installed user -mode executables are designed to be -run from a Command Prompt window; see 'Start->Program -Files->OpenFabrics Alliance-> OpenFabrics Windows->Command -Prompt'.

- -

 

- -

The ‘default’ installation installs ‘released’ (not -checked/debug) versions of drivers, libraries and executables.

-

 

- -

A single instance of a subnet manager, opensm.exe, must be -running on a fabric connected node in order for the Infiniband fabric to be configured and useful. Generally -the default arguments to opensm.exe are sufficient to configure a fabric; see -the OFW Manual or opensm -h for details.

-

- Note, -the opensm.exe process must continue to run in order to maintain Infiniband -fabric configuration.  Should the opensm.exe process die, restart -opensm.exe in order to continue correct fabric operation. For more subnet -management information, consult the OpenFabrics Windows manual.
