Install Prerequisites
Install the following software on the Management Server.
Install the following software on each Compute Node.
|

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.
The Management Server requires a minimum of two LAN connections.
One connection must be configured prior to installing ClusterPack.
The Compute Nodes must have Management Processor (MP) cards.
ClusterPack depends on certain open source software which
is normally installed as a part of the operating environment. The
minimum release versions required are:
MySQL Version 3.23.58 or higher
Perl Version 5.8 or higher
Allocate File System
Space
Allocate file system space on the Management Server.
Minimum requirements are listed below.
/share - 500 MB (Clusterware Edition only)
Obtain a License File
Get
the Host ID number of the Management Server (uname -i).
Contact Hewlett-Packard Licensing
Services to redeem your license certificates.
If you purchased the ClusterPack
Base Edition, redeem the Base Edition license certificate.
If you purchased the ClusterPack
Clusterware Edition, redeem the Base Edition certificate and the
Clusterware edition certificate.
|
| |
|
| NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours to receive the license file. Plan accordingly. |
|
| |
|
Prepare Hardware Access
Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all
the Compute Nodes from the Management Server.
Power Up the Management
Server
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. |
|
| |
|
Configure the ProCurve
Switch
Select
an IP address from the same IP subnet that will be used for the
Compute Nodes.
Connect a console to the
switch.
Log onto the switch through
the console.
Select IP Config and select the manual option.
Select the IP address field
and enter the IP address to be used for the switch.
Copy the License Files
to the Management Server
Put
the files in any convenient directory on the Management Server.
Install ClusterPack
on the Management Server
Mount
and register the ClusterPack DVD as a software depot.
Install the ClusterPack Manager
software (CPACK-MGR) using swinstall.
Leave the DVD in the DVD
drive for the next step.
Run manager_config
on the Management Server
Provide the following information to the manager_config program:
The
path to the license file(s)
Whether to store passwords
The DNS domain and NIS domain
for the cluster
The host name of the manager
and the name of the cluster
The cluster LAN interface
on the Management Server
The count and starting IP
address of the Compute Nodes
Whether to mount a home directory
The LSF admin password (Clusterware
edition only)
Run mp_register on
the Management Server
Provide the following information to the mp_register program about each Management card that is connected
to a Compute Node:
Power Up the Compute
Nodes
Use the clbootnodes program to power up all Compute Nodes that have a connected
Management Processor that you specified in the previous step. Provide the
following information to the clbootnodes program:
Time and time zone settings
Run compute_config
on the Management Server
The compute_config program will register the nodes with various programs.
Run finalize_config
on the Management Server
This program completes the installation and configuration
process, verifies the Cluster Management Software, and validates
the installation. If it reports diagnostic error messages, repeat
the installation process and perform all steps in the specified
order.
