HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.2

Table 3-2 Information Required by the discover Command
Description and User ActionItem
Enter the total number of nodes in the system configuration that are to be
discovered at this time. Make sure the number you enter includes the head node
and all compute nodes.
You are not prompted for this information if you are discovering a multi-region,
large-scale system.
If the hardware configuration contains HP server blades, you are not prompted
for this information.
You can include the nodes= keyword and value on the discover command
line to omit this question during the discovery process.
Total number of nodes in
this cluster
Enter the number of workstation nodes in the hardware configuration.
Workstations do not have console ports.
There is no default response, and a response is required. Enter 0 (zero) if the
system does not contain workstations.
You are not be prompted for this information if you are discovering a
multi-region, large-scale system.
You can include the ws= keyword on the discover command line to omit this
question during the discovery process.
Number of nodes that are
workstations
Look on the back panel of the ProCurve Root Administration Switch near the
9-pin console port and write down the MAC address. Use the switch management
serial console with a terminal connected if you cannot read the MAC address.
See “ProCurve Switches Do Not Obtain Their IP Addresses” (page 166), which
describes how you can identify which switch is the Root Administration Switch.
You can include the switchmac= keyword on the discover command line to
omit this question during the discovery process.
MAC address of the root
administration switch
Supply the common administrator password for the ProCurve switches that you
defined when you prepared the hardware.
Press Enter if you did not set this password when you prepared the hardware.
You can include the switchpw="-" keyword and value on the discover
command line to omit this question during the discovery process.
Administrator password for
the ProCurve switch
Supply the common user name and password that you set for the console port
management devices (that is, the MP, iLO and LO-100i devices) when you
prepared the hardware.
The HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide instructs you to configure all console
management ports on the system with the same user name and password;
otherwise, the discovery process will not succeed.
If the hardware configuration contains HP server blades and enclosures, the
password for the Onboard Administrator must match the password for the
console management device.
NOTE: The HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide instructs you to set the password
and user name as a hardware preparation task on all server models except the
HP ProLiant DL140 G2 and DL145 G2 servers. The procedure to change the
default user name and password for those hardware models is described in the
appropriate place in this document (after the discover command discovers
the IP addresses of the console ports).
You can include the cpuser= and consolepw= keywords and values on the
discover command line to omit these questions during the discovery process.
