The Quick Install CDs for the ProLiant ML350 server contain a readme.html
file, which includes descriptions of potential problems and how to avoid or
correct them.
The Quick Install CDs also include the following utilities:
■ NonStop Cluster Verification Utility (NSCVU)
The NSCVU validates Compaq ProLiant Clusters for SCO UnixWare 7
and their components. The NSCVU is run from any node in the cluster
and tests cluster configuration in the following categories:
G Ethernet connectivity tests verify that the nodes can communicate
over the Ethernet cluster interconnect.
G System software tests verify that SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO
UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters software have been properly
installed.
For further information on running the NSCVU, refer to the nscvu(1M)
manual page, which can be viewed with the man(1M) command or in the
SCOhelp online documentation set.
■ Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) software
This software provides management capabilities for UPSs connected to
the cluster.
■ Compaq Insight Manager™ Agents
These agents provide system information to the Compaq Insight
Manager, which is available on the Compaq Management CD that
comes with the ProLiant servers.
Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD
Compaq SmartStart is located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD shipped with ProLiant servers. You can configure additional
hardware using the SmartStart and Support CD. For information concerning
SmartStart, refer to the Compaq Server Setup and Management package that
comes with your server.
