ClusterPack core components • ClusterPack Online Tutorial • HP Cluster Management Utility Zone V2.4 • HP Application ReStart (AppRS) V2.4 The ClusterPack V2.4 Clusterware Edition includes Platform Computing, Inc.’s Clusterware Pro V5.1 in addition to the above core components. NOTE Support for Clusterware Pro is being deprecated.
QuickStart Install Instructions NOTE If your HP Integrity Server Cluster was preconfigured for you by Hewlett-Packard’s Global Deployment Services, you will not need to install ClusterPack V2.4 or perform any of the steps in this section. Follow the instructions in this section only if you are an experienced HP-UX system administrator.
IMPORTANT If you perform these steps out of order or omit steps, your installation will leave your systems in an unknown and non-deterministic state. Step 1. Fill Out the ClusterPack Installation Worksheet To help you collect the information needed for the installation, you may print a worksheet from /CPACKHELP/Tutorials/opt/clusterpack/ share/help/ohs/docs/cpack_worksheet.pdf. Fill out all the information for each node in your cluster.
Step 2. Install Prerequisites Install the following software on the Management Server. • HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX • HP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE Install the following software on each Compute Node. • HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX • HP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE NOTE Allow the default choices to install. ClusterPack requires a homogeneous operating system environment. That is, all Compute Nodes and the Management Server must have the same release of HP-UX installed as well as the same operating environment.
The Management Server requires a minimum of two LAN connections. One connection must be configured prior to installing ClusterPack. The Compute Nodes must have Management Processor (MP) cards. ClusterPack depends on certain open source software which is normally installed as a part of the operating environment. The minimum release versions required are: • MySQL Version 3.23.58 or higher • Perl Version 5.8 or higher Step 3. Allocate File System Space Allocate file system space on the Management Server.
Step 4. Obtain a License File • Get the Host ID number of the Management Server (uname -i). • Contact Hewlett-Packard Licensing Services to redeem your license certificates. • If you purchased the ClusterPack Base Edition, redeem the Base Edition license certificate. • If you purchased the ClusterPack Clusterware Edition, redeem the Base Edition certificate and the Clusterware edition certificate. NOTE It may take up to 24 hours to receive the license file. Plan accordingly. Step 5.
Step 6. Power Up the Management Server Perform a normal boot process for the Management Server. NOTE If you are using DHCP for IP assignment, DO NOT boot the Compute Nodes at this time. Step 7. Configure the ProCurve Switch • Select an IP address from the same IP subnet that will be used for the Compute Nodes. • Connect a console to the switch. • Log onto the switch through the console. • Type set up. • Select IP Config and select the manual option.
• Select the IP address field and enter the IP address to be used for the switch. Step 8. Copy the License Files to the Management Server • Put the files in any convenient directory on the Management Server. Step 9. Install ClusterPack on the Management Server • Mount and register the ClusterPack DVD as a software depot. • Install the ClusterPack Manager software (CPACK-MGR) using swinstall. • Leave the DVD in the DVD drive for the next step. Step 10.
• The path to the license file(s) • Whether to store passwords • The DNS domain and NIS domain for the cluster • The host name of the manager and the name of the cluster • The cluster LAN interface on the Management Server • The count and starting IP address of the Compute Nodes • Whether to mount a home directory • The SCM admin password • MySQL root password • The LSF admin password (Clusterware edition only) Step 11.
Provide the following information to the mp_register program about each Management card that is connected to a Compute Node: • IP address • Netmask • Gateway IP address Step 12. Power Up the Compute Nodes Use the clbootnodes program to power up all Compute Nodes that have a connected Management Processor that you specified in the previous step.
Step 13. Run compute_config on the Management Server The compute_config program will register the nodes with various programs. Step 14. Run finalize_config on the Management Server This program completes the installation and configuration process, verifies the Cluster Management Software, and validates the installation. If it reports diagnostic error messages, repeat the installation process and perform all steps in the specified order. Upgrading from V2.2 or V2.3 to V2.4 ClusterPack V2.
ClusterPack V2.4 provides a mechanism to retain the configuration settings from a ClusterPack V2.3 cluster. Before starting the upgrade, it is important to have all of your Compute Nodes in good working order. All Compute Nodes and MP cards should be accessible. The LSF queues (if in use) should be empty of all jobs, and the nodes should be idle. Instructions for upgrading from V2.2 or V2.3 to V2.4: 1. Backup the cluster user-level data. 2. Install the V2.4 backup utilities. % swinstall -s
% /opt/sysinvmgr/bin/simdevice -r ‘ /opt/sysinvmgr/bin/simdevice -l | egrep ^Name: | awk ‘{print “-n”, $2}’ | grep \.’ 7. Install the new ClusterPack manager software. % swinstall -s CPACK-MGR 8. Run manager_config in upgrade mode using the file you created in Step 3. % /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config -u 9. Register your MP cards. (To save time, check out the new -f option to compute_config.) % /opt/clusterpack/bin/mp_register 10.
Licensing ClusterPack V2.4 Base Edition uses FLEXlm licensing technology. A license is required before the product is installed. One ClusterPack license is required for each CPU in the cluster. Licenses can be redeemed through HP Software Licensing by phone, e-mail, or fax. For ClusterPack Base Edition, please refer to the Base Edition license certificate for instructions on redeeming your license.
2005771344, provide the Host ID number as #2005771344 in your key request. Please allow up to 24 hours to receive the license files from HP Software Licensing.
