ClusterPack Tutorial

The steps in this section have to be followed in the specified order to ensure that everything
works correctly.
Step 1 Invoke /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config on Management Server
Invoke /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config with a "add node" option -a.
%
/opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config -a
<new_node_name>:<new_node_ip_addr>
This command adds the new node with the specified hostname and IP address to the cluster. It
also reconfigures all of the components of ClusterPack to accommodate the new addition.
The '-a' option can include multiple host:ip pairs if more than one node needs to be added to the
system.
For more information on the use of manager_config, refer to the man pages.
%
man manager_config
Step 2 Invoke mp_register on Management Server
If the host being added to the cluster has an MP interface, it should be registered and possibly
configured with mp_register:
%
/opt/clusterpack/bin/mp_register -a <new_node_name>
The -a option can be repeated when adding multiple hosts at one time.
The mp_register utility will prompt you for information to configure and/or register an MP card
for the host being added.
Step 3 Invoke clbootnodes on Management Server
Boot the node. To assist in booting the node, you may use clbootnodes. If the node is already
booted, ensure that it has the IP address you indicated when running manager_config. Nodes can
be booted from a "first boot" state or an image of another compute node can be installed on any
new node(s). To boot a single node which has HP-UX installed on it, use:
% clbootnodes <new_node_name>
To boot multiple nodes, use:
%
clbootnodes
In the later case, the utility will prompt you (for each node in the cluster) whether to boot it or
skip it.
To boot a compute node with a system image, use the "-i" option to clbootnodes and specify the
image. The image must have been created by sysimage_create and registered with
