ProCurve Switches
Trunking Trunking between switches is set up on systems that have multiple
racks to improve performance. The ports used for this purpose are the
highest numbered switch ports. The exact trunks are specified in the
cabling tables and wire diagrams.
VLANs VLANs are set up on systems that use that same ProCurve switch for
the management and cluster interconnect networks. These are the
16-node reference GigE and Fast Ethernet systems that expand to 22
nodes.
•
The GigE system uses a ProCurve 2848. Ports 1-22 are used for
the interconnect network and ports 23-45 are used for the
management network. Port 48 is used for the OOB switch
connection.
•
The Fast Ethernet system uses a ProCurve 2650. Ports 1-22 are
used for the interconnect network and ports 25-47 are used for the
management network. Port 48 is used for the OOB switch
connection.
Refer to the ProCurve documentation for additional information on
trunks and VLANs.
Step 6: Setting up the Out of Band Management Switch (LC 1000 Series)
LC 1000 Series clusters use Cyclades terminal servers that must be set up and configured at
the customer’s site. HP recommends that you follow Cyclades’ Quick Start process which is
detailed in the AlterPath Console Server User Guide. This guide is included with the cluster
shipment. It is also available from the Cyclades website at
www.cyclades.com
.
Step 7: Setting up the Control Node
The control node is connected to the TFT5600 monitor in the solution so you can directly
control and monitor this server.
1. First, power up the control node and confirm that it passes the power on self test (POST).
2. Set up the control node’s iLO configuration if desired. The control node will need to be
connected to a DHCP server supplied by the customer to complete the iLO setup.
3. If the cluster was shipped with an operating system installed, the server will boot to the
OS. Once it has been confirmed that the server boots properly you can continue to set up
the control node to your operating system and applications specifications. Refer to the
operating system and software vendor’s installation instructions for additional
information.
4. Visually check each NIC Link light on the server and the switches to which they connect
to verify that each cable has a link established.
5. If the server does not boot properly, you can try the following as part of the
troubleshooting process:
a.
Look for error messages during POST.
