Overview

Use the clbootnodes program to power up all Compute Nodes that have a

connected MP that you specified in the previous step. It will answer the first boot

questions for all the nodes automatically.

Provide the following information to the clbootnodes program:

• Language to use

• Hostname

• Time and time zone settings

• Network configuration

•Root password

Details

To run clbootnodes, use the following command:

% /opt/clusterpack/bin/clbootnodes

Before booting the nodes, clbootnodes will ask you for the root password to set on

the Compute Nodes and the LAN card to configure for networking for each host.

The LAN card choice for each host will be set to the IP address specified earlier via

manager_config.

You can omit the argument list, in which all the nodes in the cluster will be

processed. The IP address will be the one that you provided previously. The

program will interact with you to obtain the name of the LAN card to use.
