HP XC System Software Release Notes for Version 3.0

During an LSF failover scenario, any interactive LSF jobs are terminated because their I/O operates
through the LSF daemons. However LSF batch jobs will run undisturbed if their nodes remain
up.
14.4.2 Changing the Root Password
Step 4 in the "Changing the Root Password" procedure in Chapter 11 contains a misspelling. The
/etc/passwd file name is incorrectly shown as /etc/password.
The corrected text is as follows:
4. Run the following commands to update the appropriate files throughout the
HP XC system:
# pdcp -a -x `hostname` /etc/passwd /etc/passwd
# pdcp -a -x `hostname` /etc/group /etc/group
# pdcp -a -x `hostname` /etc/shadow /etc/shadow
# pdcp -a -x `hostname` /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow
14.4.3 Using the si_updateclient Utility
Steps 5 and 6 in the "Using the si_updateclient Utility" procedure in Chapter 8 incorrectly reference
the restart option of the service nconfig command. The correct option is nrestart .
The corrected text is as follows:
5. Run the per-node configuration service on the head node to update it:
# service nconfig nconfigure
# service nconfig nrestart
6. Run the per-node configuration service on all client nodes:
# cexec -x `nodename` -a "service nconfig nconfigure"
# cexec -x `nodename` -a "service nconfig nrestart"
14.5 HP XC Manpages
The following sections describe inaccurate HP XC manpages.
14.5.1 controllsf(8)
The following text was omitted from the Description section of the controllsf(8) manpage:
The controllsf command provides the system administrator a means to control
and configure LSF-HPC with SLURM on the HP XC system. This command is
not useful when standard LSF is installed on the HP XC system. Use the LSF
administration commands (lsadmin and badmin) to start and stop daemons
under standard LSF.
14.5.2 discover(8)
A description of the --ws= option was omitted from the discover(8) manpage:
The --ws= option specifies the number of workstations configured in your system.
14.5.3 startsys(8)
The path name of the optional startsys configuration file is incorrect.
The correct path name is /hptc_cluster/etc/startsys.conf, not /etc/startsys.conf.
