Table 3-3 Information Required by the cluster_config Utility (continued)
Description and User ActionItem
You are prompted for the following information about the SLURM configuration:
• Whether you want to configure SLURM. You are not required to configure
SLURM, however, SLURM is required by LSF-HPC with SLURM and SVA.
• A SLURM user name. A default value is provided, but you can specify your
own SLURM user name.
• The node on which to configure the primary SLURM controller
• The node on which to configure the backup SLURM controller
• Whether to configure user-restricted access on the compute nodes
SLURM configuration
You are prompted for the following LSF configuration information (default
responses are provided for each item):
• Whether you want to configure LSF. You are not required to use LSF as the
job management software.
• What type of LSF to install: LSF-HPC with SLURM or standard LSF
• A user name for the primary LSF administrator
• A password for the LSF administrator if it is a new local account
• An LSF cluster name (the default is hptclsf)
LSF configuration

graphics software.
3.3 Task 2: Change the Default IP Address Base (Optional)
You might have to change the default IP address base of the XC private networks if the default
values conflict with another IP address base at your site. The address base is stored in a .ini
file, and the file you modify depends on whether or not HP server blades and enclosures are
included in the hardware configuration.
base_addr.ini file
Modify this file if the hardware configuration does not contain
HP server blades and enclosures.
base_addrV2.ini file.
Modify this file if the hardware configuration contains HP
server blades and enclosures. If you modify the IP addresses
in the base_addrV2.ini file, you must make the same
modifications to the corresponding parameters in the
base_addr.ini file.
Follow this procedure to change the default IP address base for the XC private networks:
1. Begin this procedure as the root user on the head node.
2. Use the text editor of your choice to edit either the /opt/hptc/config/base_addr.ini
file or the /opt/hptc/config/base_addrV2.ini file.
Example 3-1 shows the default content of the base_addr.ini file.
Example 3-1 Default Content Of The base_addr.ini File
Base = 172
nodeBase = 172.20
cpBase = 172.21
swBase = 172.20.65
icBase = 172.22
otherBase = 172.23.0
netMask = 255.224.0.0
Example 3-2 shows the default content of the base_addrV2.ini file.
