ClusterPack V2.5 Release Note

Comprehensive Install Instructions

Background

ClusterPack works on HP Integrity Servers running HP-UX. In order to install

ClusterPack, the Technical Computing Operating Environment (TCOE) version of

HP-UX must be installed. You must also have the Ignite-UX software, which is used

for installation. Installing Ignite-UX on the Compute Nodes makes it possible to

create and distribute ‘Golden Images’ from the Compute Nodes.

ClusterPack requires a homogeneous operating system environment. That is, all

Compute Nodes and the Management Server must have the same release of HP-UX

installed as well as the same operating environment.
