Using the following two topics, this chapter describes how you install OpenGL Multipipe:
The following are the prerequisites for installing OpenGL Multipipe on your system:
OpenGL Multipipe for Silicon Graphics Prism systems is installed by default when installing the SGI ProPack package. OpenGL Multipipe contains the following file subsystem:
sgi-omp-2.x-yyyyy.ia64.rpm |
When installed with SGI ProPack 4, the xinetd service is disabled by default. The service has to be enabled and started in order for OpenGL Multipipe to function. In order to start the service, the following commands need to be executed as a superuser once only after SGI ProPack installation:
$ /sbin/chkconfig xinetd on $ /etc/init.d/xinetd start |
When trying to run an application under an OpenGL Multipipe session while xinetd is disabled, the following error message will be printed:
“Could not connect to sgi-ompslave service.” |
Detailed documentation of the rpm utility for managing software installation on Linux is available in the rpm(8) man page.
For any critical updated information, you can check the release notes, /usr/share/omp/release_notes/user/relnotes.html, and the OpenGL Multipipe website, http://www.sgi.com/software/multipipe/ .
As part of OpenGL Multipipe installation, the OpenGL Multipipe Performance Metrics Domain Agent ( PMDA) is placed in the directory /var/lib/pcp/multipipe. This PMDA needs to be installed after the initial installation of the OpenGL Multipipe RPM or if the hardware configuration of the machine changes. You install the OpenGL Multipipe PMDA by running the following script as a superuser:
/var/lib/pcp/pmdas/multipipe/Install |
The following session illustrates the installation of the PDMA:
keglevich:/var/lib/pcp/pmdas/multipipe # ./Install
You need to choose an appropriate configuration for installation of
the “multipipe” Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA).

monitor allow system to monitor local and/or remote systems

Once the PMDA is installed, you can verify the installation by running the pminfo command. The following session show the typical output:
