HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 4.0

Table 4-2 discover Command Options (continued)
DescriptionOption
The --ic={AdminNet|Ethernet|Infiniband|Myrinet|Quadrics}
option specifies the type of interconnect to configure. If you do not specify this
option, the discover utility configures the fastest interface it finds available in
the hardware configuration. Your entries are case sensitive.
When the interconnect is configured on the administration network, a single
LAN is used. The administration network and the interconnect share the same
ports and switches.
All other interconnect types (Myrinet, InfiniBand, and Quadrics) are discovered
automatically based on the interconnect found on the head node. You are not
required to specify these interconnects on the command line.
--ic=
The --verbose option provides useful feedback during the discovery process
that enables you to follow along. HP recommends including it on the command
line.
--verbose
Table 4-1 (page 63) and discover(8) contain information about additional keywords you can
add to the command line to omit some of the questions that will be asked during the discovery
process. Use of these keywords is optional.
If you encounter problems during the discovery process, see Section 14.1 (page 173) for
troubleshooting guidelines.
NOTE: The discover command does not properly discover HP ProLiant DL140 G3 and
DL145 G3 servers until the password is set. Running the discover command now
determines the IP address of the console ports so you can use the telnet command to
access the console ports and set the password. This process is described in Section 4.6
(page 74).
5. Look at the screen and follow along with the command output. Table 4-1 (page 63) describes
each prompt and provides information to help you with your answers.
• The sample output shown in Example 4-1 (page 66) was created by using the --verbose
option on a small HP XC system with six HP ProLiant servers (Opteron architecture).
• The sample output shown in Example 4-2 (page 68) was created on an large-scale HP
XC system with more than one region.
The output you see will be different. The information you are prompted to supply depends
on whether or not you entered additional keywords on the command line.
