ClusterTools 3.0 Software Must Be Installed
The Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 software must be installed on the cluster—either on
an NFS server or locally on each node. If this has not yet been done, refer to the Sun
HPC ClusterTools 3.0 Installation Guide for instructions.
If you will be using the LSF suite as the cluster’s workload manager, the LSF
components must be installed before the ClusterTools software.
Verify that the following Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 packages are present.
4 SUNWsci
4 SUNWscid
4 SUNWscidx
– required only on clusters with 64-bit Solaris 7
4 SUNWsma
4
SUNWsmax
– required only on clusters with 64-bit Solaris 7
4
SUNWrsmop
4 SUNWrsm
These SCI and RSM packages may not be present if, during installation of the
ClusterTools 3.0 software, the installer responded “No” when asked if SCI packages
should be installed. If they are not present, they must be installed.
The installation GUI (graphical user interface) includes an option for installing the
SCI-related packages exclusively. See the Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 Installation
Guide for more information.
If any of these packages were installed from another source, you must remove them
and install the packages provided on the Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 software release.
Caution for NIS+ Users
sm_config
may have trouble contacting other node in the cluster in an NIS+
environment. By default, the NIS+ version of
/etc/nsswitch.conf
specifies the
services entry as: nisplus [
NOTFOUND=return
] files. Since the
/etc/services
file
is modified and used by SUNWsma and other packages, the
/etc/nsswitch.conf
entry should be as follows:
services: files nisplus
Place the term files first before other entries.
