HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 2.1

2 Enter the password for the Root Administration Switch that you previously defined
when you prepared th e hardw a re. If you did not preset a password, press the Enter
key.
3 Enter the common user name and password that y ou previously defined for the
console port management devices (th e iLO, LO-100i, or MP devices) when you
prepared the hardware. If you did not predefine these items, press the Enter key.
4 This is norm al behavior. B ecause this is a cluster discovery process, the comm and
output No Switch Found or No Node Found is ex pected . This output does
not necessarily indicate a failure unless there is a network component plugged i nto
that port on the sw itch .
If necessary, see Appendix E fo r information about troublesh ooting problems you
may encounter during the discovery process.
7. If you captured the output of the discover command with a script (described in step
5), press Ctrl/d to end it.
This file is for your in form ation only; store this file in a directory where you keep
administrative data.
8. On XC system s with HP ProLiant DL140G2 and DL145G2 nodes, use the telnet
command to log into each node’s LO-100i console management device and change the
password. S kip this step for all other hardware models.
To determ ine console port nam es, view the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and look for the
characters cp- in the host name. Use the factory default user nam e admin and the default
password admin to log in.
For security reasons, use the C[hange Password] command to change the d efault
password to a password of your choice. This password must be the same on every node in
your system.
Proceed to Section 4.7 to set up your system environment.
4.7 Define and Set Up Your System Environment
Table 4-2 lists tasks that will set up your system enviro nment. Perform these tasks n ow b e fore
the system is configured so that the information i s propagated to the approp riate c lient n odes
during the initial image synchronization. Some of the tasks are optional d epend ing upon how
you want your overall system environment to function; other tasks are required, as noted.
Table 4-2: System Setup Tasks
Required Tasks Optional Tasks
Configure the switch monitoring line cards
(Section 4.7.1)
Create local user accounts (Section 4.7.3)
Configure sendmail (Section 4.7.2) Configure NIS (Section 4.7.4)
Limit user access to compute nodes (Section 4.7.5)
Customize client node disk partitioning, file
system configuration, or both (Section 4.7.6)
When you have finished setting up your system environment, proceed to Section 4.8 to begin
the system configuration p rocess.
4.7.1 Configure the Switch Monitoring Line Cards (Required)
Configuring the Qu
