HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.0

3. Use the text editor of your choice to modify the login_node.conf file with the necessary disk
configuration changes. See autoinstallscript.conf(5) for formatting guidelines.
4. Save your changes to the file.
5. Create a new autoinstallation script:
# mkautoinstallscript --quiet \
--no-listing \
--image base_image \
--script login_node \
--force YES \
--config-file /opt/hptc/systemimager/etc/login_node.conf \
--ip-assignment static \
--post-install reboot
See mkautoinstallscript(8) for more information.
When command processing is complete, a new master autoinstallation script named
login_node.master is located in the /var/lib/systemimager/scripts directory.
6. Create a symbolic link from the node names of the appropriate nodes (login nodes in this example) to
the newly created master autoinstallation script. Note that the node name is appended with a .sh
extension:
for i in n135 n136
do
ln -sf login.master.0 $i.sh
done
7. After the cluster_config utility completes its processing, the client nodes are ready to be installed
from the golden image. Do one of the following:
• If the client nodes were not previously installed with the HP XC System Software, see “Task 9: Run
the startsys Utility To Start the System and Propagate the Golden Image” (page 60) to continue
the initial installation procedure.
• If the client nodes were previously installed, issue the following sequence of commands to set the
nodes to network boot and reboot the client nodes:
# setnode --resync n[135-136]
# stopsys n[135-136]
# startsys --image_and_boot n[135-136]
Wait until the stopsys command completes before invoking the startsys command.
