TO ADD SUPPORT FOR HP BLxxx and DLxxx SERVERS TO XCAT2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you have done the base xCAT2 install ("yum install xcat"),
|
||
|
|
execute the following commands as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd /
|
||
|
|
tar zxf /root/hp_xcat.tgz
|
||
|
|
service xcatd restart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once this has been done, follow the instructions in the document
|
||
|
|
"xCAT 2 Cookbook for Linux," with the adaptations below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USING HP BLADES WITH XCAT2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. To add an HP enclosure Onboard Administrator, say "hpoa1,"
|
||
|
|
and create (or add it to) a group called "hpoa" to the
|
||
|
|
database:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nodeadd hpoa1 groups=hpoa
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpoa nodehm.mgt=hpblade
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. To add 4 Blade nodes to the database, say hpbl001 through
|
||
|
|
hpbl004, and create (or add them to) a group called
|
||
|
|
"hpblades":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nodeadd hpbl001-hpbl004 groups=all,compute,hpblades
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Add the HP Blades to the hardware management table:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpblades nodehm.cons=hpblade nodehm.mgt=hpblade
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Tell xCAT to use the user name "admin" with the password
|
||
|
|
"admPass" to access all members of the "hpoa" group
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chtab mpa=hpoa mpa.username=admin mpa.password=admPass
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Set up the management processor tables, with Blades 1 and 2
|
||
|
|
in device bays 1 and 2, and Blades 3 and 4 in device bays
|
||
|
|
9 and 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpbl001 mp.mpa=hpoa mp.id=1
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpbl002 mp.mpa=hpoa mp.id=2
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpbl003 mp.mpa=hpoa mp.id=9
|
||
|
|
chtab node=hpbl004 mp.mpa=hpoa mp.id=10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Set up the console server to add the blades
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
makeconservercf
|
||
|
|
service conserver stop
|
||
|
|
service conserver start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. Use "getmacs" to identify the new nodes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
getmacs hpbl001-hpbl004
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USING HP DL SERVERS WITH XCAT2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. To add 4 DL server nodes to the database, say node1 to
|
||
|
|
node4, and create (or add them to) a group called
|
||
|
|
"dlservers":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nodeadd node1-node4 groups=all,compute,dlservers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Add the servers to the hardware management table:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chtab node=dlservers nodehm.cons=hpilo nodehm.mgt=hpilo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Tell xCAT to use the user name "admin" with the password
|
||
|
|
"admPass" to access all members of the "dlservers" group:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chtab mpa=dlservers mpa.username=admin mpa.password=admPass
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Set up the console server to add the blades
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
makeconservercf
|
||
|
|
service conserver stop
|
||
|
|
service conserver start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Use "getmacs" to identify the new nodes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
getmacs node1-node4
|
