HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.2

NOTE: Table 3-3 (page 59) describes each prompt and provides information to help you with
your answers.
1. Accept the default value when you are prompted to enter the number of NFS daemons
required on the system:
Configuring system wide functions / policies / behaviors
Executing C02hptc_cluster_sfs sconfigure
Executing C02ssh_config sconfigure
Executing C03avail sconfigure
Executing C10cluster_fstab sconfigure
Executing C20sysparams sconfigure
NFS daemon tuning:
Given that there are 6 nodes in this cluster, enter the number of
NFS daemons that shall be configured to support them [8] : Enter
The default value for the number of NFS daemons scales according to the number of nodes
in the system. The default value represents the number of NFS daemons required on the
head node to adequately support serving the /hptc_cluster file system. Table 3-7 lists
the default values.

1281024 or more
2. Specify a quorum server node name or a full path to the lock LUN (for example, /dev/sdb1,
where 1 is the partition number) if you have configured availability sets to use Serviceguard
as the availability tool . See “Deciding on the Method to Achieve Quorum for HP Serviceguard
Clusters” (page 79) or the Serviceguard documentation for more information.
Executing C25syslimits sconfigure
Configuring service specific functions
Executing C03avail gconfigure
You need to configure quorum for the availability set with
members n16 and n14.
Valid choices are quorum server [q] or lock LUN [l]: [q] Enter
Please provide the name of the quorum server? [] node_name
OR
Please provide the name of the lock LUN [ ] full_path_to_lock_LUN
Executing C05pdsh gconfigure
3. Specify the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. The head node is automatically configured
as the system's NTP server if another server is not specified, but you have the option to
provide up to four external NTP servers instead.
If the HP XC system will be integrated with HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share (HP SFS),
the HP XC and HP SFS systems must be synchronized to a common time server. Therefore,
do not take the default response; instead, enter the same external time server that will be
used for the HP SFS system.
Executing C08ntp gconfigure
Configuring the following nodes as ntp servers for the cluster:
