make the appropriate BIOS settings on all server blade nodes. These tasks are documented in
the HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide (BIOS settings depend upon the hardware model type).
Return here when you have finished with those tasks and proceed to “Discover All Nodes and
Enclosures”.
3.6.2.3 Discover All Nodes and Enclosures
Follow this procedure to discover all enclosures and all nodes (including server blades) in the
hardware configuration. This discovery process assigns IP addresses to all hardware components:
1. Begin this procedure as the root user on the head node.
2. Start a script to capture command output into a file. This step is optional, but HP recommends
doing so.
# script your_filename
3. Change to the following directory:
# cd /opt/hptc/config/sbin
4. Discover all enclosures:
# ./discover --enclosurebased --enclosures
Discovery - XC Cluster version HP XC V32 20061022
Enter the common user name for all console port management devices:
your_username
Please enter the password for your_username: your_password
Please re-enter password: your_password
