changes from
Provisioning to Offline , right-click the node name and
select
Bring Online .
Reinstalling Compute Node Network Drivers
If you use the Dell provided compute node template, the node reboots a few
minutes after the compute node installation is complete. This behavior is
normal because an automated script reinstalls the network drivers after the
compute node installation finishes.
If you do not use the Dell provided compute node template and if the network
drivers were added in "Configuring the HPC Pack on a Non-Factory Installed
Head Node" on page 14, the network drivers must be re-installed after
compute node installation finishes successfully.
You can re-install the network drivers using the installer that comes with the
network driver package. To do so, you can extract the Broadcom drivers under
C:\Broadcom\ on the compute nodes and use the following commands:
• start /B /wait c:\Broadcom\
Driver_Management_Apps_Installer\setup /s /v"/qn
BACSTRAY=NO"
• start /B /wait c:\Broadcom\
Driver_Management_Apps_Installer\setup /s /v"/qn
BACSTRAY=NO REINSTALL=ALL"
After the commands are run, you must reboot the system.
After the installation is complete and the compute nodes are online, the
cluster is ready. To verify the cluster setup, run some of the diagnostics that are
in the Diagnostics pane.
For clusters that run Services Oriented Application (SOA) jobs, right-click
the desired node and select Change Role to create
Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) Broker nodes.
Updating the Head Node and Compute Nodes
Dell Repository Manager (DRM) provides an easy way to update all the drivers
and firmware on a system. It is highly recommended to use the DRM utility to
update drivers and firmware on the compute nodes. You can download DRM
from support.dell.com.
