Task 3: Install the Servers
Task 3: Install the Servers
If the individual servers are not already installed, you must install them and ensure that
they function properly as stand-alone systems before adding them to a cluster. You can
install all the servers now or install them individually before adding each one to the
cluster.
To plan for installation and install a NonStop S-series server, refer to the following
guides:
•
NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide
•
NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide
Task 4: Upgrade the Operating System and Software
Unless a system is new, you must upgrade the operating system before adding the
system to a ServerNet cluster. You can upgrade all the systems now or upgrade them
individually before adding each one to the cluster. Each system must have:
•
The G06.09 or later RVU. In general, the different nodes in your cluster can have
different versions of the operating system as long as they meet the requirements of
your selected topology. For software requirements for each topology, see Table 2-8
on page 2-23. To check the versions of software currently running on your system,
see Table 2-9 on page 2-24.
•
T9057, the Expand product, which is delivered on the site update tape (SUT).
•
T0509, the Expand/ServerNet Profile required for ServerNet clustering. If ordered,
this optional component is delivered on the site update tape (SUT).
•
TSM client software version 10.0 or later. Be sure to use the most current OSM or
TSM client software that supports your operating system:
Note. If your cluster uses a split-star topology or a tri-star topology, and the fiber-optic
cables between the clusters switches exceed 80 meters, all nodes in the cluster must meet
the requirements shown in Table 2-4 on page 2-11.
For NonStop Kernel
