+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
