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
