Re: trying to build OpenSSI [with 2.6.14 kernel] from source

Hi John and Scott,

I now succeed in figuring out an efficient process to bet more nodes up and running while now having 5 nodes up and operational.

I do have one question about "ssi-addnode".

In our physical design, I have a server rack with 30 nodes. 15 of the nodes are connected to 1 switch while the other 15 nodes are connected to a second switch and both switches are cascaded and mounted into the top of the rack.

When I run the ssi-addnode command, it only allow me to add a maximum of 15 nodes and am suspecting that it is not seeing beyond the first switch for some reason.

How can I go about making sure that the ssi-addnode can see the second switch?

Thanks and have a great day,
