HP SVA V2.0 Software Installation Guide
# chmod a+r /hptc_cluster/slurm/job/jobacct.log
3. You must reboot the head node. You can do so with the following command:
# /sbin/shutdown -r now
A reboot allows a variety of services to restart and use NIS. This is faster than restarting the
services manually.
For workstation head nodes, the Kudzu Hardware Discovery Utility automatically starts
during the next reboot. To properly deal with this, press any key when prompted to do so.
Then select the Ignore the device option. This allows the NVIDIA driver installed by SVA to
be used without further interruption.
1.4.6 Golden Image the Render/Display Nodes
This process propagates the image from the head node to the render and display nodes in the
cluster. Complete the imaging process as documented in the HP XC Installation Guide: Configuring
and Imaging the System. Begin at the Run the startsys Utility to Start the System and Propagate the
Golden Image section, with the following exception.
This next step only applies to the specific case of installing the SVA Software Kit on an existing
HP XC cluster. Run the following command immediately before you begin the Run the startsys
Utility to Start the System and Propagate the Golden Image section:
# setnetboot –-node n[1-8]
In this command, n represents the default prefix for the cluster. For example, enter viz[1–8]
assuming you specified viz for your cluster prefix at an earlier stage of the installation and have
eight visualization nodes to image (not counting the head node).
1.4.7 Generating an SVA Site Configuration File
This process is documented in detail in the SVA System Administration Guide.
From the head node, enter the following command (requires root privileges):
# svaconfigure
1.4.8 Verifying the HP XC System
See the HP XC Installation Guide: Verifying the System... for the steps to run the HP XC Operation
Verification Procedure (OVP). Use the OVP to verify that HP XC is installed correctly.
1.4.9 Main Installation Is Complete
At this point, you have completed the main parts of the installation of HP XC and SVA. There
are some additional verification and configuration steps that are SVA-specific. These are
documented in Section 1.6.
1.5 Installing the SVA Software Kit on an Existing HP XC Cluster
This section explains how to install the SVA Software Kit for the first time on an existing HP XC
cluster; that is, when SVA nodes are fully integrated into a compute cluster running HP XC.
