[ofw] RE: WinOF 2.0 installation question

[Casano, Warenne]

Hi,
 
Thank you for your response.
 
I tried to reinstall WinOF again today.  Here is what I did:
 
(1) Manually removed "mlx4_* and ipoib*" from
%windir%\system32\DriverStore\Temp.
(2) Reinstall WinOF 2.0
(3) Dialog prompting to install "Mellanox Technologies Ltd" device
driver.  Select "install".
(4) Installation failed with the following error:
    
Mlx4_hca Install Err(2) cmd.exe /c cd /d C:\Program Files
(x86)\WinOF\IBcore & devman.exe update mlx4_hca.inf PCI\VEN_15B3

 

Do you know what this error means?  I think I'll wait for WinOF 2.1 RC2
and try again.

 

Thanks

Warenne

Hi, 

I am migrating an MPI application from Linux to Windows (Intel Xeon
platform with 
Windows 2008 server).  At first, I installed Mellanox WinOF 2.0 and
tried to use it 
with Intel MPI Library.  The Intel MPI library requires DAT runtime
library which was 
not part of the Mellanox WinOF 2.0 installation.  So, I uninstalled
Mellanox WinOF 2.0. 
I downloaded WinOF 2.0 and tried to install.  However, the installation
failed.  
>From the release notes, installation may fail if the certain files 
are in DriverStore\Temp directory.  I could not removed those files even
when I'm 
logged in as "administrator".  

I need to know how to remove those files from DriverStore\Temp
directory.  I 
tried using ibcleanup; but that did not remove the files in
DriverStore\Temp.  

<Stan> Latest version of ibcleanup.bat @
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/WinOF/etc/
<http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/WinOF/etc/>  know how to remove
these files.
Are you sure the Mellanox WinOF 2.0 installation is removed? Check
device manager (devmgr.msc)
 (You did reboot after Mellanox uninstall?)
Take a look at how ibcleanup.bat removes DriverStore folders if
per-chance if does not work for you; perform task manually from
privileged cmd window.

I am new in this area; so I would like to know how I could verify
whether dapltest 
works or not.  What I need is a sample output of when dapltest works
after 
WinOF is installed properly.  

>From a head-node WinOF cmd window (Start->All Programs-->Windows
OpenFabrics->Command Window 
start a dapl2test server; type 'dt-svr<Enter>'
The dapl2test svr is listening on the IPv4 address you assigned to your
IPoIB instance.
You will need that IPoIB IPv4 address in the next step; ipconfig will
reveal if you're not sure.

>From another WinOF cmd window, type 'dt-cli IPoIB-IPv4-address conn' for
a simple node local connection test; 'dt-cli' with no args gives help
message.
Example: If 10.104.200 is assigned to your 1st IPoIB instance @ 'Local
Area Connection 3' or in HPC speak 'Application Network'

    dt-svr<Enter>      # dapl2test server is listening on 10.10.4.200

    dt-cli 10.10.4.200 conn<Enter>
    dt-cli 10.10.4.200 transmet        # a more complicated test
    dt-cli 10.10.4.200 stop            # causes dap2test server to stop;
otherwise it is persistent.

Now that you have proven Dapl2test is functional on the head-node, make
sure the dapl2test server is still running on the head-node.
using clurun run dapltest clients from compute nodes; from the head-node
command window type 'clusrun /nodes:n1,n2,n3 dt-cli 10.10.4.200 conn'
for the 1st step.
Expand at your leisure.

Let me know how things go.

Stan.

PS: I you can wait until Tuesday 7/21 afternoon (PDT) WinOF 2.1 RC2 will
be available - a much cleaner device install/uninstall! Strongly
recommended.
PSS: wwg at lists.openfabrics.org is a small forum, I changed the reply to
much larger audience of developers.

Thank you for your help.
