The ClusterPack DVD will be referenced again in the installation process. Please leave it

in the DVD drive until the "Invoke /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config on Management

Server" step has completed.

Step 10 Run manager_config on the Management Server

Background

This program is the main installation and configuration driver. It should be executed on the Management

Server.

Some of the steps are:

Install the appropriate license files (i.e. ONE Base Edition license file or TWO

Clusterware Edition license files), and start the licensing services

Assign DNS domain name and NIS domain name based on inputs provided

Select and configure the cluster LAN interface on the Management Server that interfaces

with the Compute Nodes

Specify how many Compute Nodes are in the cluster and the starting IP address of the

first Compute Node. This information is used to assign names and IP addresses when

Compute Nodes are brought up. The first 5 characters of the Management Server's

hostname are used for a base for the Compute Nodes. For example, if the starting IP

address is 10.1.1.1, and there are 16 Compute Nodes, and the name of the Management

Server is hpnode, then the first Compute Node will be called hpnod001 with address

10.1.1.1, the next hpnod002 with address 10.1.1.2, and so on. If the tool is invoked with

the -f option, the input file will be the source for this information.

Set up the Management Server as NTP server, NIS server, NFS server, Ignite-UX server,

and Web server.

Install all of the dependent software components from the ClusterPack DVD:

{

This step looks for the source of the CPACK-MGR install and queries

for an alternate source, if the source is not found. A local depot is

setup. All of the agent components are copied. Other dependent

software pieces in the Management Server are validated and installed.

Configure the Management Server components of SCM, SIM, and other Cluster

Management Software tools.

Modify configuration files on the Management Server to enable auto-startup of the

Cluster Management Software components after reboots.

Print a PASS diagnostic message if all of the configuration steps are successful.
