Contact an NEC account representative to purchase them. Figure 4.1-1 shows the installation flow. All software can be installed from EXPRESSBUILDER.
4.2 Management PC Software 4.2.1 Management PC Requirement The Management PC for installing DeploymentManager and ESMPRO/ServerManager should meet the requirements listed below. · HW - CPU : Intel® Pentium® III Processor (600MHz) or faster - Memory : 192MB or more - HDD : 350MB or more (Space for installation data and backup image should be reserved also.
4.2.3 ESMPRO/ServerManager ESMPRO/ServerManager lets a system administrator manage remote servers across a network using SNMP. Table 4.2-2 explains main features of ESMPRO/ServerManager. For installation procedure and detailed explanations on ESMPRO/ServerManager, refer to the ESMPRO/ServerManager Installation Manual. Table 4.2-2 ESMPRO/ServerManager Feature Feature Description Failure Management Displays failures detected by ServerAgent in the Alert Viewer.
4.3 CPU Blade Software 4.3.1 DPM Client Service DPM Client Service will be installed automatically if you install the OS using DPM. If you did not install the OS using DPM, please refer to the DPM Installation Manual in EXPRESSBUILDER to install the DPM client Service. 4.3.2 OS (RedHat Enterprise Linux) RedHat Enterprise Linux will be installed on each CPU Blade. You can do a manual installation or automatic installation using DPM. DPM can perform a clean installation or a disk copy installation.
4.3.2.1 Install OS If an FC HBA card is installed in your Express5800/1020Ba, confirm that no cables are connected to the FC HBA card. If any are connected, disconnect the FC cables from the FC HBA card before following the procedure below. 1. Turn the AC Power ON, and insert the OS installation disk (1/3) into the DVD-ROM drive. 2. Turn the DC48V Power ON, and assign the Local KVM console and DVD-ROM drive to the CPU Blade. 3. Select “EFI Shell [Built-in]” from the boot option list.
4.3.2.2 Install parameters The following settings are needed for the Express5800/1020Ba. The items not listed below are default or optional. - Disk partition setting The Installer configures the partition setting automatically by default. “/ (root)”, “swap” and “/boot/efi/” partitions are configured. (The file system of the “/boot/efi/” partition is “vfat”.) You can configure the partitions yourself by using “Disk Druid” if needed.
4.3.2.3 SCSI device configuration for NV2010A-A001/E001 (FC HBA) If an FC HBA is installed in the Express5800/1020Ba, configure the following settings before updating the kernel (AW 2.1) or updating the initrd image (WS 3). 1. Confirm that no FC cables are connected to the FC HBA card. 2. Edit “/etc/modules.conf” so that the FC HBA card is recognized as the last scsi_hostadapter. Ex.
4.3.2.4 Update kernel For AW 2.1, the kernel has to be updated. Follow the procedure below to update the kernel to version 2.4.18-e.43smp. 1. Insert the CD-ROM including the kernel package (kernel-2.4.18-e.43smp.ia64.rpm) into the DVD-ROM drive. Then assign the Local KVM console and DVD-ROM drive to the CPU Blade. 2. Mount the CD-ROM. # mount /mnt/cdrom 3. Update the kernel # cd /mnt/cdrom # rpm -Uvh kernel-smp-2.4.18-e.43.ia64.rpm Note: See “/boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.
4.3.3 ESMPRO/ServerAgent The ESMPRO/ServerAgent monitors hardware/software configurations of the server, failures, and performance. It will be installed on each CPU Blade and reports events to the ESMPRO/ServerManager. For installation procedure and detailed explanation on ESMPRO/ServerAgent, refer to the ESMPRO/ServerAgent Installation Manual in EXPRESSBUILDER. 4.3.3.
Note: The CMM Blade, InfiniBand switch, and other switches notify ESMPRO/ServerManager through Management LAN, not through ESMPRO/ServerAgent. Therefore the destination address is set to 10.33.B.20 (The Management LAN side IP Address of ESMPRO/ServerManager). Note: Figure 4.3-2 is one recommended network configuration. When you configure network settings, confirm your network set up and configure appropriately.
Section 5 Troubleshooting This section describes general solutions when an error occurs in the system and the peripheral devices connected to it. If the problem cannot be corrected after following the troubleshooting steps listed below, please record the problem and contact an authorized NEC service representative. 5.1 Power You turned on the AC switch, but the CMM Blade Power LED is not lit and the CPU Blade Power LED is not flashing ON/OFF.
