HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.2.1

Table 3-2 Information Required by the discover Command (continued)
Description and User ActionItem
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.

If you are required to use the --oldmp option on the discover command line
for HP XC systems with an HP Integrity head node, you are prompted to supply
the number of nodes that are plugged into the Root Administration Switch.
If you specify the --enclosurebased option on the discover command line,
you are not prompted for this information.

cluster_config utility.
Table 3-3 Information Required by the cluster_config Utility
Description and User ActionItem
You are prompted to configure availability sets for improved availability of
services if you have installed and configured an availability tool (such as HP
Serviceguard) as described in “Task 9: Plan a Service Availability Strategy”
(page 26).
If you are not prompted to configure availability sets and you expected to
configure availability sets, return to “Task 9: Plan a Service Availability Strategy”
(page 26) and ensure you followed all instructions.
Availability sets
A command-line menu appears which enables you to change the default node
role assignments and to add or remove an external Ethernet connection to any
node.
See Appendix F (page 199) for node role definitions and for more information
about using the menu.
Node role assignments and
Ethernet connections
If root ssh keys already exist, you are prompted to regenerate them. If you
regenerate the ssh keys, you cannot run the ssh or pdsh commands to other
client nodes until you reimage them.
For this reason, HP recommends that you regenerate ssh keys so you can
determine if all nodes have successfully booted the new image.
