HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 4.0

Table 4-1 Information Required by the discover Command (continued)
Description and User ActionItem
Look on the back panel of the ProCurve Root Administration Switch near the 9-pin
console port and write down the MAC address. Use the switch management serial
console with a terminal connected if you cannot read the MAC address.
See Section 14.1.2 (page 174), which describes how you can identify which switch is
the Root Administration Switch.
You can include the switchmac= keyword on the discover command line to omit
this question during the discovery process.
MAC address of the root
administration switch
When only one HP BladeSystem c3000 or c7000 enclosure is present in a hardware
configuration, you must include the --single option on the discover command
line. The discover command prompts you to supply the MAC address of the
Onboard Administrator because hardware configurations with one enclosure do not
have any external ProCurve switches.
The Onboard Administrator is the small LED panel near the bottom of the enclosure
and you can obtain its MAC address directly from it.
MAC address of the Onboard
Administrator
Supply the common administrator password for the ProCurve switches that you
defined when you prepared the hardware.
Press Enter if you did not set this password when you prepared the hardware.
You can include the switchpw="-" keyword and value on the discover command
line to omit this question during the discovery process.
Administrator password for
the ProCurve switch
Supply the common user name and password that you set for the console port
management devices (that is, the MP, iLO and LO-100i devices) when you prepared
the hardware.
The HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide instructs you to configure all console
management ports on the system with the same user name and password; otherwise,
the discovery process will not succeed.
If the hardware configuration contains HP server blades and enclosures, the password
for the Onboard Administrator must match the password for the console management
device.
NOTE: The HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide instructs you to set the password
and user name as a hardware preparation task on all server models except the HP
ProLiant DL140 and DL145 servers. The procedure to change the default user name
and password for those hardware models is described in the appropriate place in
this document (after the discover command discovers the IP addresses of the
console ports).
You can include the cpuser= and consolepw= keywords and values on the
discover command line to omit these questions during the discovery process.
User name and password for
the console port management
devices
If you are required to use the --oldmp option on the discover command line for
HP XC systems with an HP Integrity head node, you are prompted to supply the
number of nodes that are plugged into the Root Administration Switch.
If you specify the --enclosurebased option on the discover command line,
you are not prompted for this information.
Number of nodes plugged
into the Root Administration
Switch
If you are required to use the --oldmp option on the discover command line for
HP XC systems with an HP Integrity head node, you are prompted to supply the
number of nodes plugged into application cabinets.
If you specify the --enclosurebased option on the discover command line,
you are not prompted for this information.
