Create the guid.txt File

If your InfiniBand fabric uses the Fat-Tree routing algorithm, you must provide a root node GUID file for the Subnet Manager. The /etc/opensm/guid.txt file is such a file. This procedure describes how to create the guid.txt file.

  1. Type the following command on the management controller to retrieve the node GUID:

    # ibstat |grep Node

    For example:

    # ibstat |grep Node
             Node GUID: 0x0021283a8638b0f0
    #
  2. Start a text editor on the management controller and record the GUID twice.

    For example, you would see the following in the text editor:

    0x0021283a8638b0f0
    0x0021283a8638b0f0
  3. Change the last two digits on the right from f0 to e0 for one of the GUIDs.

    For example:

    0x0021283a8638b0f0
    0x0021283a8638b0e0
  4. Save the text editor file on the management controller as the /etc/opensm/guid.txt file.

  5. Set the permissions for the /etc/opensm/guid.txt file:

    # chmod 0644 /etc/opensm/guid.txt
    #
