QuickStart Install Instructions
NOTE If your HP Integrity Server Cluster was pre-
configured for you by Hewlett-Packard’s Global
Deployment Services, you will not need to install
ClusterPack V2.4 or perform any of the steps in
this section.
Follow the instructions in this section only if you are an
experienced HP-UX system administrator. If you do not have
experience bringing up a non-cluster HP-UX system, use the
comprehensive installation instructions provided in:
• The release note included with the product and also
available at http://docs.hp.com
• The ClusterPack Tutorial available at
http://www.hp.com/techservers/clusterpack_v2/index.html
or by pointing your browser to <DVD
mountpoint>/CPACK-HELP/Tutorials/opt/
clusterpack/share/help/ohs/index.html
10
.
IMPORTANT If you perform these steps out of order or omit
steps, your installation will leave your systems in
an unknown and non-deterministic state.
Step 1. Fill Out the ClusterPack Installation Worksheet
To help you collect the information needed for the
installation, you may print a worksheet from <DVD
mount point>/CPACKHELP/Tutorials/opt/clusterpack/
share/help/ohs/docs/cpack_worksheet.pdf. Fill
out all the information for each node in your cluster.
NOTE You will not be able to complete the
following steps if you have not
collected all of this information.
11
Step 2. Install Prerequisites
Install the following software on the Management
Server.
• HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX
• HP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE
Install the following software on each Compute Node.
• HP-UX 11i Ignite-UX
• HP-UX 11i V2.0 TCOE
NOTE Allow the default choices to install.
ClusterPack requires a homogeneous operating
system environment. That is, all Compute Nodes and
the Management Server must have the same release
of HP-UX installed as well as the same operating
environment.
12
The Management Server requires a minimum of two
LAN connections. One connection must be configured
prior to installing ClusterPack.
The Compute Nodes must have Management
Processor (MP) cards.
ClusterPack depends on certain open source software
which is normally installed as a part of the operating
environment. The minimum release versions required
are:
• MySQL Version 3.23.58 or higher
• Perl Version 5.8 or higher
Step 3. Allocate File System Space
Allocate file system space on the Management Server.
Minimum requirements are listed below.
• /var - 4 GB
• /opt - 4 GB
• /share - 500 MB (Clusterware edition only)
13
Step 4. Obtain a License File
• Get the Host ID number of the Management
Server (uname -i).
• Contact Hewlett-Packard Licensing Services to
redeem your license certificates.
• If you purchased the ClusterPack Base Edition,
redeem the Base Edition license certificate.
• If you purchased the ClusterPack Clusterware
Edition, redeem the Base Edition certificate and
the Clusterware edition certificate.
NOTE It may take up to 24 hours to receive
the license file. Plan accordingly.
Step 5. Prepare Hardware Access
Get a serial console cable long enough to reach all the
Compute Nodes from the Management Server.
14
Step 6. Power Up the Management Server
Perform a normal boot process for the Management
Server.
NOTE If you are using DHCP for IP
assignment, DO NOT boot the
Compute Nodes at this time.
Step 7. Configure the ProCurve Switch
• Select an IP address from the same IP subnet
that will be used for the Compute Nodes.
• Connect a console to the switch.
• Log onto the switch through the console.
• Type set up.
• Select IP Config and select the manual option.
15
• Select the IP address field and enter the IP
address to be used for the switch.
Step 8. Copy the License Files to the Management
Server
• Put the files in any convenient directory on the
Management Server.
Step 9. Install ClusterPack on the Management Server
• Mount and register the ClusterPack DVD as a
software depot.
• Install the ClusterPack Manager software
(CPACK-MGR) using swinstall.
• Leave the DVD in the DVD drive for the next
step.
Step 10. Run manager_config on the Management
Server
Provide the following information to the
manager_config program:
16
• The path to the license file(s)
• Whether to store passwords
• The DNS domain and NIS domain for the cluster
• The host name of the manager and the name of
the cluster
• The cluster LAN interface on the Management
Server
• The count and starting IP address of the
Compute Nodes
• Whether to mount a home directory
• The SCM admin password
• MySQL root password
• The LSF admin password (Clusterware edition
only)
Step 11. Run mp_register on the Management Server
17
Provide the following information to the mp_register
program about each Management card that is
connected to a Compute Node:
• IP address
• Netmask
• Gateway IP address
Step 12. Power Up the Compute Nodes
Use the clbootnodes program to power up all
Compute Nodes that have a connected Management
Processor that you specified in the previous step.
Provide the following information to the clbootnodes
program:
• Language to use
• Host name
• Time and time zone settings
• Network configuration
• Root password
18
Step 13. Run compute_config on the Management
Server
The compute_config program will register the nodes
with various programs.
Step 14. Run finalize_config on the Management Server
This program completes the installation and
configuration process, verifies the Cluster
Management Software, and validates the installation.
If it reports diagnostic error messages, repeat the
installation process and perform all steps in the
specified order.
Upgrading from V2.2 or V2.3 to V2.4
ClusterPack V2.4 supports an upgrade path for existing
customers using either ClusterPack V2.2 or ClusterPack V2.3.
Customers that currently use ClusterPack V2.2 have HP-UX 11i
Version 1.6 TCOE installed on HP Integrity servers. Customers
with HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 TCOE can upgrade their servers to
the HP-UX 11i Version 2 TCOE and preserve the cluster
configuration settings when deploying ClusterPack V2.4.
19
ClusterPack V2.4 provides a mechanism to retain the
configuration settings from a ClusterPack V2.3 cluster.
Before starting the upgrade, it is important to have all of your
Compute Nodes in good working order. All Compute Nodes and
MP cards should be accessible. The LSF queues (if in use) should
be empty of all jobs, and the nodes should be idle.
Instructions for upgrading from V2.2 or V2.3 to V2.4:
1. Backup the cluster user-level data.
2. Install the V2.4 backup utilities.
% swinstall -s <depot_with_V2.4> CPACK-BACKUP
3. Take a backup of the cluster information.
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/clbackup -f
<backup_file_name>
4. Copy the backup file to another system for safe keeping.
5. Remove the TCP wrappers on your Compute Nodes.
% clsh /usr/bin/perl -p -i -e “‘s^
/usr/lbin/tcpd^^;’” /etc/inetd.conf
6. Remove Compute Nodes from the SIM database.
20
% /opt/sysinvmgr/bin/simdevice -r ‘
/opt/sysinvmgr/bin/simdevice -l | egrep ^Name: |
awk ‘{print “-n”, $2}’ | grep \.’
7. Install the new ClusterPack manager software.
% swinstall -s <depot_with_V2.4> CPACK-MGR
8. Run manager_config in upgrade mode using the file you
created in Step 3.
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/manager_config -u
<backup_file_name>
9. Register your MP cards. (To save time, check out the new -f
option to compute_config.)
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/mp_register
10. Install the new software on the Compute Nodes. (The -u is
important.)
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/compute_config -u
11. Verify that everything is working as expected.
% /opt/clusterpack/bin/finalize_config
21
Licensing
ClusterPack V2.4 Base Edition uses FLEXlm licensing
technology. A license is required before the product is installed.
One ClusterPack license is required for each CPU in the cluster.
Licenses can be redeemed through HP Software Licensing by
phone, e-mail, or fax.
For ClusterPack Base Edition, please refer to the Base Edition
license certificate for instructions on redeeming your license.
For ClusterPack Clusterware Edition, you must redeem BOTH
the Base Edition license certificate AND the Clusterware Edition
license certificate at the same time. You will need TWO license
files in order to run manager_config.
Both the Base Edition and the Clusterware Edition license keys
are node-locked to the Management Server. You must provide the
Host ID of the Management Server when requesting the license
keys. The Host ID can be found using the uname -i command.
% /bin/uname -i
The number returned by this command must be proceeded by a #
when making your request. For example, If uname -i returns
22
2005771344, provide the Host ID number as #2005771344 in
your key request.
Please allow up to 24 hours to receive the license files from HP
Software Licensing.
