A

Installation of the InfiniPath driver RPM (infinipath-kernel-2.2-xxx-yyy) 

builds kernel modules for the currently running kernel version. These InfiniPath 
modules will work only with that kernel. If a different kernel is booted, then you 
must reboot and then re-install or rebuild the InfiniPath driver RPM. 

Here is an example. These commands must be done as root:

# export IPATH_DISTRO=2.6.18_EL5.1 KVER=2.6.18-53.1.14.el5
# cd /usr/src/infinipath/drivers
# ./make-install.sh
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart

Reinstallation instructions for the InfiniPath kernel modules are provided in 

. 

See the 

modprobe(8)

, 

modprobe.conf(5)

, and 

lsmod(8)

 man pages for more 

information. Also see the file:

/usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

The LEDs function as link and data indicators once the InfiniPath software has 
been installed, the driver has been loaded, and the fabric is being actively 
managed by a subnet manager.

Table 5-5

 describes the LED states. The green LED indicates the physical link 

signal; the amber LED indicates the link. The green LED will normally illuminate 
first. The normal state is Green On, Amber On for adapters other than the 
QLE7240 and QLE7280, which have an additional state, as shown in 

Table 5-5

.

Green OFF
Amber OFF

The switch is not powered up. The software is neither 
installed nor started. Loss of signal. 
Verify that the software is installed and configured with 
ipath_control -i. If correct, check both cable con-

nectors.
