For SUSE Linux 8.2 and SLES8: edit the /etc/modules.conf file so that it
contains the following lines:
alias scsi_hostadapter ips
alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300
options scsi_max_scsi_luns=128
For SUSE Linux 8.2, append the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file with the following line:
INITRD_MODULES="ips qla2300 reiserfs"
For SLES8, edit the /etc/rc.config file to contain the following line:
INITRD_MODULES="ips qla2300"
3. For Red Hat Linux version 9, rebuild the two initrd images. You can not make a
RAM disk image if mkinitrd detects one already present with the same name, so
the first two commands will rename the old images. For example:
mv /boot/initrd-2.4.2-2.img /boot/initrd-2.4.2-2_orig.img
mv /boot/initrd-2.4.2-2smp.img /boot/initrd-2.4.2-2smp_orig.img
mkinitrd initrd-2.4.2-2.img 2.4.2-2
mkinitrd initrd-2.4.2-2smp.img 2.4.2-2smp
For SUSE 8.2 and SLES8, type the mkinitrd command to create a boot/initrd
directory, and then run lilo.
4. If a Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed, restart and run the setup diskette or
CD to configure the network. Assign the same configuration information for the
Remote Supervisor Adapter (name, IP address, host name) as used before. Go
to the following site to download the RSA and ASM Process or Firmware
Update Diskette utility: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4JTS2T.html
5. If you have custom modifications, configure the kernel.
6. Reboot the node.
Defining nodes
Before you can distribute the system image to all nodes in the Cluster 1350, you
must first define the nodes for which you do not know the IP addresses.
Defining nodes using CSM
You can use a node-definition file to define the nodes, console servers, and service
processors to the cluster, or you can enter the information from the command line.
1. To define the nodes, console server information, and service processors, type
definenode -f nodedef
2. To review the arguments that you need to enter from the command line, type
definenode -h
3. To define the node host name, type
definenode -n hostname
where hostname is the name of the node being defined. The command prompts
for missing information when some or all of the arguments are not provided.
See the IBM Cluster Systems Management for Linux Technical Reference for
details about definenode and addnode command-line syntax and more examples of
the usage of the command.
