1.0.1 How Can I Get My HP-UX Cluster Running?
If you have installed ClusterPack before, follow the instructions in this section as a quick
reminder. You can refer to the detailed instructions for any given step via the links provided.
If you have not installed ClusterPack before, use the Comprehensive Install Instructions
section instead. This QuickStart Guide does NOT cover the use of Golden Images. If you
wish to use Golden Images, use the Comprehensive Install Instructions section instead.
Note:
If you do the installation steps out of order or omit steps, your installation
will leave your systems in an unknown and non-deterministic state.

Step Q1 Fill Out the ClusterPack Installation Worksheet
Print out this form and fill out all information for each node in your cluster.
Installation Worksheet (pdf)
Note:
You will not be able to complete the following steps if you have not
collected all of this information.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q2 Install Prerequisites
Install the following software on the Management Server.
zHP-UX 11i Ignite-UX
zHP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE
Install the following software on each Compute Node.
zHP-UX 11i Ignite-UX
zHP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE
Allow the default choices to install.
ClusterPack requires a homogeneous operating system environment. That is, all Compute
N
odes and the Management Server must have the same release of HP-UX installed as well
as the same operating environment.
The Management Server requires at least one LAN connection. The manager must be able
to contact all the compute nodes using a "management network" that will ve configured by
Clusterpack. In addition, the management server must be able to connect to all the MP cards
on the compute nodes. No network connections need to be configured before installing
Clusterpack, the console interface can be used for all installation and configuration steps.
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:
zMySQL Version 3.23.58 or higher
zPerl Version 5.8 or higher
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q3 Allocate File System Space
Allocate file system space on the Management Server. Minimum requirements are listed
below.
z/var - 4GB
z/opt - 4GB
z/share - 500MB (Clusterware edition only)
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q4 Obtain a License File
zGet the Host ID number of the Management Server.
zContact Hewlett-Packard Licensing Services to redeem your license
certificates.
zIf you purchased the ClusterPack Base Edition, redeem the Base Edition
license certificate.
zIf 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.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q5 Prepare Hardware Access
Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all the Compute Nodes from the
Management Server.
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.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q6 Power Up the Management Server
Perform a normal first boot for the Management Server.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.
References:
zStep 6 Power Up the Management Server

Step Q7 Configure the ProCurve Switch
zSelect an IP address from the same IP subnet that will be used for the
Compute Nodes.
zConnect a console to the switch
zLog onto the switch through the console
zType 'set-up'
zSelect IP Config and select the "manual" option
zSelect the IP address field and enter the IP address to be used for the
switch
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q10 Run manager_config on the Management Server
Provide the following information to the manager_config program:
zThe path to the license file(s),
zThe DNS domain and optional NIS domain for the cluster,
zThe host name of the manager and the name of the cluster,
zThe management LAN interface on the Management Server,
zThe IP address(es) of the Compute Node(s),
zWhether to mount a home directory,
zWhether to configure SCM / SysInvMgr or HP SIM software ,
zThe LSF admin password. (Clusterware edition only)
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q11 Run mp_register on the Management Server
Provide the following information to the mp_register program about each Management
Processor card that is connected to a Compute Node:
zIP address,
znetmask,
zgateway IP address.
The information can be provided to mp_register in a file. See the mp_register(1) man page
for the file format.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.

Step Q12 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. The clbootnodes program
will provide the following information to the Compute Nodes:
zLanguage to use,
zHost name,
zTime and time zone settings,
zNetwork configuration,
zRoot password.
For more information, see the Comprehensive Instructions for this step.
