Installing CSM on the Management Node
Perform the following to install CSM on the Management Node:
1. Set the following environment variables:
v
Make sure /opt/csm/bin is listed in the PATH environment variable
v
Make sure /opt/csm/man is listed in the MANPATH environment variable
v
Set the environment variable RCONSOLE_FONT to the font of your choice.
v
Set the environment variable DSH_REMOTE_CMD to the remote shell of
choice (default=ssh)
You can put these environment variables into the /etc/profile.d/csm.{sh,csh}
shell scripts so they are automatically loaded.
2.
Refer to the CSM Software Planning and Installation Guide for detailed
installation instructions. The guide is located at: http://www-
1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/clusters/library/csmsetup.html
3.
Once CSM is installed, take the 1350 node definition information contained in
the nodedef.install file into /opt/csm/install.
4.
Issue the command definenode –f nodedef.install.
5. Issue the command lsnode –l and check to see that all the nodes you were
expecting show up in the listing.
6. Update CSM with the new required drivers. The required drivers are located
at:http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/cluster2/fixes/csmdriverdownload.html.
7. Issue the command rpower –a query and check that a valid status (either on
or off) is returned for each node defined.
8. Issue the command rconsole –a to check that you have valid CSM console
definitions and connectivity to the terminal server.
9. Modify the appropriate kscfg.tmpl.* file in /opt/csm/install before running the
kickstart generation script.
Create the CSM kickstart.
For Red Hat 7.3 issue the following command: csmsetupks
For SuSE Linux 8 issue the following command: csmsetupsis —a —p
/cdrom:/tmp/sis —A suse
For SLES 7.2 issue the following command: csmsetupsis —a —p
/cdrom:/tmp/sis —A sles
10. Follow the prompts and load the Linux CD-ROMs as required.
ATTENTION!
Once csmsetupks or csmsetupsis has successfully run for each of the nodes you are ready to install the operating
system on them.
Before you continue, either power off the FAStT controllers or disconnect the fibre cable that runs to each
FAStT controller.
