HP Cluster Management Utility CMU Installation Guide with Serviceguard Version 4.0 (May 2009)

2-1 Hardware requirements
The hardware requirements for CMU under Serviceguard are:
• 2 Administration servers;
• One shared storage accessed by the two servers.
• A minimum of two ethernet networks for interconnecting the two management servers.
This is normally the case in a CMU cluster, as you normally have a private ethernet for
compute nodes management. In case you are configuring a CMU cluster where all nodes
are only connected to the site network, you need an additional link between the two
CMU management servers to interconnect a second Ethernet port.
2-2 Software prerequisites
The following distribution are supported:
RedHat:
• RH4
• RH5
SuSE:
• Sles9
• Sles10
The following packages are required as prerequisites:
