Enter the MAC address of the switch that is connected to the administration ports. Do not

enter the MAC address of the switch connected to the console ports.

Enter the password for the Root Administration Switch that you previously defined when

you prepared the hardware. If you did not preset a password, press the Enter key.

Enter the common user name and password that you previously defined for the console port

management devices (the iLO, LO-100i, or MP devices) when you prepared the hardware.

If you did not predefine these items, press the Enter key.

If the discover process hangs while trying to discover console ports, see Appendix N

(page 189).

This is expected behavior. Because this is a cluster discovery process, the command output

No Switch Found or No Node Found is expected. This message does not indicate a failure

unless a network component is plugged into that port on the switch.

If necessary, see Appendix N (page 189) for information about troubleshooting problems you

might encounter during the discovery process.

6. The following prompts are displayed for large-scale systems:

The discover process has detected 2 regions. Is this correct? [y/n] y

switchName nems0-1-0 switchIP 172.20.65.1 type 2848

Enter the actual total number of nodes in region 1: 526

Enter the number of nodes that are workstations: 0

Enter the actual total number of nodes in region 2: 504

Enter the number of nodes that are workstations: 0

7. If you captured the output of the discover command in a file (described in step 2), press Ctrl+d to

end the script session now.

This file is for your information only. Store this file in a directory where you keep administrative data.

8. If the hardware configuration contains HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 hardware models, perform

the procedure described in “Modify the Default Password for HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 Hardware

Models”. Otherwise, proceed to “Task 6: Set Up the System Environment” (page 58).

3.6.1 Modify the Default Password for HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 Hardware

Models

Perform this task only if the hardware configuration contains HP ProLiant DL140 and DL145 hardware

models to modify the default console management device password. Changing the default password is

not required, but HP recommends changing the factory default value for security purposes. Bypass this

step for all other server models.

1. Use the method of your choice to view the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and look for the characters cp-

in host names to determine console port names.

2. Use the telnet command and the internal name of the console port to log in to each node's console

management device and change the default password. Supply the factory default user name admin

and the default password admin to log in:

# telnet cp-node_name

password: admin

3. The interface you use to change the password differs depending upon the BMC firmware version.

Thus, do one of the following:

• For BMC Firmware Version 1.03:
