Figure 27 Adding nodes to logical groups
From the CLI
Add the node into the logical group as follows:
cmu> add_to_logical_group node1 – noden to <myTestImage>
5.8.2.8 Booting the compute nodes
From the GUI
1. Select the compute nodes you added to the diskless logical group.
2. Right-click to launch a boot command on these nodes.
3. Select network. The list of all the diskless images registered in HP Insight CMU appears. The
cmu network image is also listed. The HP Insight CMU classic network boot image is used for
cloning and backup.
Figure 28 Booting the compute nodes
4. In the list box, select your diskless image name, and then click OK. The compute nodes start
on your diskless image.
From the CLI
Start the nodes as follows:
cmu> boot net "<myTestImage>" node1 - noden
