ClusterPack V2.
Announcement The following information is for the release of ClusterPack V2.5. ClusterPack is available on HP Integrity Servers. The powerful clustering software technology of ClusterPack provides a centralized, comprehensive cluster management solution: cluster setup and installation, system administration workload management, and system inventory/consistency.
General information T1843FA ClusterPack Media (This DVD) T1850FC ClusterPack per CPU license You may review online documents from the ClusterPack DVD by pointing your browser to /CPACK-HELP/Tutorials/opt /clusterpack/share/help/ohs/index.html or at http://www.hp.com/go/clusterpack. To help you collect the information needed for the installation you may print a worksheet from /CPACK-HELP/Tutorials/clusterpack /share/help/ohs/docs/cpack_worksheet.pdf.
ClusterPack core components • ClusterPack Online Tutorial • HP Cluster Management Utility Zone V2.5 • HP Application ReStart (AppRS) V2.5 NOTE ClusterPack V2.5 supports both HP-UX 11iv2 and HP-UX 11iv3. The cluster operating system should be the same for the management server and all Compute Nodes. Mixing HP-UX 11iv2 and HP-UX 11iv3 within the same cluster is not supported.
ClusterPack V2.5 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. If you do not have experience bringing up a non-cluster HP-UX system, use the comprehensive installation instructions provided in: • The release note included with the product and also available at http://docs.hp.com • The ClusterPack Tutorial available at http://www.hp.com/techservers/clusterpack_v2/index.
Step 1. Fill Out the ClusterPack Installation Worksheet To help you collect the information needed for the installation, you may print a worksheet from /CPACK-HELP/Tutorials/opt /clusterpack/share/help/ohs/docs /cpack_worksheet.pdf. Fill out all the information for each node in your cluster. NOTE You will not be able to complete the following steps if you have not collected all of this information. Step 2.
system on the cluster must be the same for the management server, and all the Compute Nodes. For HP-UX 11iv2 Install the following software on the Management Server. • HP-UX 11iv2 TCOE • HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX (B5725AA) Install the following software on each Compute Node. • HP-UX 11iv2 TCOE • HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX (B5725AA) For HP-UX 11iv3 Install the following software on the Management Server.
Install the following software on each Compute Node. • HP-UX 11iv3 TCOE • HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX (IGNITE) 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 at least one LAN connection.
ClusterPack depends on certain open source software which is normally installed as a part of the operating environment. The minimum release versions required are: HP-UX 11iv2 • Perl Version 5.8 or higher HP-UX 11iv3 • Perl Version 5.8 or higher Step 3. Allocate File System Space Allocate file system space on the Management Server. Minimum requirements are listed below.
• /opt - 4GB Step 4. Obtain a License File • Get the Host ID number of the Management Server. • Contact Hewlett-Packard Licensing Services to redeem your license certificates. • If you purchased the ClusterPack Base Edition, redeem the Base Edition license certificate. NOTE It may take up to 24 hours to receive the license file. Plan accordingly. Step 5. Prepare Hardware Access Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all the Compute Nodes from the Management Server.
NOTE If you are installing ClusterPack on Compute Nodes for the first time, DO NOT power up the systems. ClusterPack will do that for you automatically. If you do accidentally power the compute nodes, DO NOT answer the HP-UX boot questions. Step 6. Power Up the Management Server Perform a normal boot process for the Management Server. 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.
• 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 (e.g. /tmp). 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.
Provide the following information to the manager_config program: • The path to the license file(s) • 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 IP address(es) of the Compute Node(s) • Whether to mount a home directory • Whether to configure HP SIM software Step 11.
• Netmask • Gateway IP address • username and password to connect 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. Provide the following information to the Compute Nodes: • Language to use • Host name • Time and time zone settings • Network configuration • Root password Step 13.
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, performing all steps in the order specified. Upgrading from V2.4 to V2.5 ClusterPack V2.5 supports an upgrade path from ClusterPack V2.4.
NOTE ClusterPack V2.5 does not integrate with Clusterware Pro. If you are using Clusterware Pro, the current setup and functionality will not be removed by ClusterPack V2.5. But, changes made to the cluster configuration (i.e. adding or removing Compute Nodes, creating groups, etc.) will NOT be updated automatically in the Clusterware Pro configuration. Instructions for upgrading from V2.4 to V2.5: Step 1. Backup the cluster user-level data. Step 2. Install the V2.5 backup utilities.
Copy the backup file to another system for safe keeping. Step 4. Install the new ClusterPack manager software. % swinstall -s CPACK-MGR Step 5. Run manager_config in upgrade mode using the file you created in Step 3. % /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config -u \ Step 6. Register your MP cards. (To save time, check out the new -f option to compute_config.) % /opt/clusterpack/bin/mp_register Step 7. Install the new software on the Compute Nodes. (The -u is important.
Upgrading from V2.3 to V2.5 ClusterPack V2.5 supports an upgrade path from ClusterPack V2.3. Customers that currently deploy ClusterPack V2.3 on HP Integrity servers use HP-UX 11i Version 2.0 TCOE. ClusterPack V2.5 provides a mechanism for the use of the majority of V2.3 configuration settings for the V2.5 configuration. 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.
Step 1. Backup the cluster user-level data. Step 2. Install the V2.5 backup utilities. % swinstall -s CPACK-BACKUP Step 3. Take a backup of the cluster information. % /opt/clusterpack/bin/clbackup -f \ Copy the backup file to another system for safe keeping. Step 4. Install the new ClusterPack manager software. % swinstall -s CPACK-MGR Step 5. Run manager_config in upgrade mode using the file you created in Step 3.
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/mp_register Step 7. Install the new software on the Compute Nodes. (The -u is important.) % /opt/clusterpack/bin/compute_config -u Step 8. Verify that everything is working as expected.
Licensing ClusterPack V2.5 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. Please refer to the license certificate for instructions on redeeming your license. The license keys are node-locked to the Management Server. You must provide the Host ID of the Management Server when requesting the license keys.
