ClusterPack V2.5 Release Note

Comprehensive Install Instructions

Overview

Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all of the Compute Nodes from the

Management Server.

Details

In order to allow the Management Server to aid in configuring the Management

Processors, it is necessary to have a serial console cable to connect the serial port on

the Management Server to the console port on the Management Processor that is to

be configured. Be sure that the serial cable is long enough to reach all of the

Compute Nodes. It is also possible to configure the Management Processors

manually by connecting a console to each card.

NOTE If you are installing ClusterPack on Compute Nodes for the first

time,

DO NOT power up the systems, ClusterPack will do that for you

automatically. If you do accidentally power the compute nodes,

NOT answer the HP-UX boot questions.

Step 6. Power Up the Management Server

Background

This is the first step in actually configuring your system.

Overview

Perform a normal boot process for the Management Server.

NOTE DO NOT boot the Compute Nodes at this time.

Step 7. Configure the ProCurve Switch

Background

The ProCurve switch is used for the management network of the cluster.

Overview

The IP address for the ProCurve switch should be selected from the same IP subnet

that will be used for the Compute Nodes.
