2. Installing ToDo
1) Xeon Phi MPSS utilities install
# uname -a
Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 11:21:38 CDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# tar xvf ./mpss_gold_update_3-2.1.6720-13-rhel-6.4.tar ; cd mpss_gold_update_3
# yum install --nogpgcheck --noplugins --disablerepo=* *.rpm
# micctrl --initdefaults
# micctrl -r -w
# /opt/intel/mic/bin/micflash -Update /opt/intel/mic/flash/EXT_HP2_SMC_Bootloader_1_8_4326.css_ab -device all
# sync; sync; sync; reboot
# micctrl -r -w
# /opt/intel/mic/bin/micflash -Update /opt/intel/mic/flash/ -device all
# chkconfig mpss on
# sync; sync; sync; reboot
# /opt/intel/mic/bin/micinfo
# /opt/intel/mic/bin/miccheck

3. Native root login Config
2) Xeon Phi Native root login configuration
# micctrl --passwd=root --pass=XXXXXXXXXXX mic0
# service mpss restart
# micctrl --config
:
MIC IP: A.A.A.A
:
# ssh root@A.A.A.A
# uname -a
