ClusterPack Tutorial

This document does not cover hardware details. It is necessary, however, to make certain hardware

reparations in order to run the software.

Overview

Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all the Compute Nodes from the Management Server.

Details

To allow the Management Server to aid in configuring the Management Processors, it is necessary to ha

serial console cable to connect the serial port on the Management Server to the console port on the

Management Processor to be configured. Be sure that the serial cable is long enough to reach all of the

Compute Nodes. It is also possible to configure the Management Processors manually by connecting a

console to each card.

Note:

If you are installing ClusterPack on Compute Nodes for the first time, DO NOT power up

the systems, ClusterPack will do that for you automatically. If you do accidentally power

the compute nodes, DO NOT answer the HP-UX boot questions.

Step 6 Power Up the Management Server

Background

This is the first step in actually configuring your system.

Overview

Perform a normal boot process for the Management Server.

Note:

If you are using DHCP for IP assignment, DO NOT boot the Compute Nodes at this time.

Details

If you use DHCP to assign the host names and IP addresses to the Compute Nodes, the DHCP server mu

e running on the Management Server before the Compute Nodes are booted. The manager_config prog

will set up the DHCP server.
