ClusterPack V2.5 Release Note

What’s in This Version

Support for non-intrusive Compute Node addition and deletion

The Compute Nodes in the cluster that are not candidates for addition or removal will not be

touched during these operations. Jobs can continue to run on those nodes while these

operations are being performed.

Removal of key configuration restrictions

ClusterPack now has the ability to configure cluster networking with just the management

LAN. It also now works in NIS and non-NIS environments.

Easy upgrade path from supported ClusterPack versions

ClusterPack V2.5 supports the upgrade for existing customers using supported versions of

ClusterPack V2.3 or V2.4. ClusterPack V2.5 provides a toolset to retain the configuration

settings from a ClusterPack V2.3 or ClusterPack V2.4 cluster.

See “Upgrading from V2.4 to V2.5” on page 36 or “Upgrading from V2.3 to V2.5” on page 38

for detailed instructions on how to upgrade from either V2.3 or V2.4 to V2.5.

Improvements to the online tutorial

The ClusterPack online tutorial now includes a QuickStart Installation Guide for experienced

HP-UX system administrators. Comprehensive installation instructions are also provided

with detailed directions for installation and for the use of Golden Images.
