HP Scalable Visualization Array, V1.1 Software Installation Guide

1 Installing Software Components
Kit Summary
This section describes the current distribution and setup for the software components of the SVA.
Supported Platforms
The following platforms are supported with SVA:
Clustering Software HP XC System Software V3.0
Base Operating System HP XC System Software V3.0 is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advanced Server V4.0 Update 2
Kit Options
Your system typically comes with HP XC System Software V3.0 and all the SVA software installed.
You received media consisting of an HP XC DVD and an SVA CD. These are typically all you need to do a
full installation.
Installing Online Documentation
You can wait until the cluster is up and running and view the online SVA Documentation Library already
installed on all the nodes. The documentation files are in the /var/www/html/sva directory. The
/var/www/html directory is where Apache stores HTML files on Red Hat systems. Once installed on a
system which has Apache running, the documentation can be accessed from that system at
https://localhost/sva. Open index.htm to view the Table of Contents, which displays all the online
books. Most documents are available in html and pdf.
You can view the full set of online documentation directly from the SVA CD using a Windows or Linux system.
The main navigation page for the Documentation Library is located on the CD at the following location:
sva/index.htm
Because all the documentation is contained in a tree of Web-compatible files, you can also copy the tree to
any Web server root directory (Windows, UNIX®, or Linux). It can then be viewed from its URL by anyone
with access to that Web server.
The SVA Documentation Library is a set of files bundled into a single compressed tar file for convenience.
You can install the tar file manually at any time on an existing Linux or Windows machine; for example,
before you set up all the cluster hardware and complete the installation of the cluster software.
1. Mount the SVA CD in the CD-ROM drive on an existing Windows machine or Linux machine (not part
of the SVA).
2. Locate the sva_docs.tar.gz file, which contains the Documentation Library files in the root level
of the CD.
3. Follow the instructions for the target system:
• Linux
The /var/www/html directory is where Apache stores HTML files on Red Hat systems. You can
install the files in /var/www/html/sva. If you install the Documentation Library files on a system
which has Apache running, you can access the documentation from that system at
https://localhost/sva. Use the tar utility to extract and install the Documentation Library.
• Windows
Use WinZip to extract the entire tree for the Documentation Library to a local file system on disk,
or a Web server root directory for viewing from a URL address.
4. In either case, open index.htm to view the main navigation window. It lists all the online books,
including the SVA Software Installation Guide .
