thanks hicks....I'm actually playing with this thing at home for learning purposes...u guys have been very helpful...I assumed a rollover cable is the same as a cross over cable, so that was my first issue, and because you guys have let me know I need to connect serially on the laptop I have ordered a usb to serial adapter. I appreciate all the help getting me started, I'm sure I'll be posting again once I have the right equipment to administer the system.

thanks bitlord....My issue is just connecting to the machine to get the os installed.....I'm waiting on a usb to serial adapter to arrive, once I do I'm sure I'll be asking for more help getting things configured...I've seen mention of ALOM when doing research on this box, not sure exactly what that is, but I'm sure your reply will be very helpful once I get to that step.

scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M)
NAME
scconf_transp_adap_ibd - configure the InfiniBand (ibd) transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure ibd adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.
The ibd adapter connects to an InfiniBand transport switch. The connection is made through a transport cable.
When the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name
on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch.
The default is to set the port name to the node ID that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable.
There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
