IBM System Cluster 1350, Установка и обслуживание

Страница: 58 / 170

This process assumes you have successfully cabled together all devices within each
cabinet and that you have correctly cabled together all cabinets. The software
installation process begins with the Management Node in the Primary cabinet.
Make sure the Management Node and all the switches are powered up. Cluster
Nodes will be powered up later in the install process.
1. Power up the Management Node and press the F1 key. Make any necessary
changes to set the boot order as follows:
v
Floppy diskette
v
CD-ROM
v
Fixed disk
v
Network
2.
Ensure that hard disk 1 and 2 in the Management Node are set up as a RAID 1
mirror.
To set up the disks as a RAID 1 mirror, reboot the Management Node and at
the LSI Logic prompt press the CNTRL + C keys. Highlight the first drive
listed with Boot Order 0 and then highlight Mirroring Properties. Set drive 0
to primary and drive 1 to secondary. Press ESC and then Enter and save your
configuration changes. Exit the configuration utility. You will get a message that
the drives are resynching.
3. Insert the SuSE Linux 8 product CD and restart the Management Node.
4. When prompted, select the Language you want to use for this installation.
5. Select New Installation and click OK.
6.
Select Partitioning, then Discard, and then Custom Partitioning.
You will manually partition the drive. First, delete all the partitions on sda.
Create the following partitions:
v
A /boot partition with a size of 50 MB.
v
A /csminstall partition with 2 GB for each distribution of Red Hat Linux
installed on the managed nodes.
v
A /opt partition of 2 GB.
v
A /var partition of 1 GB for each 128 nodes in the cluster. If there are fewer
than 128 nodes in the cluster you should still set aside 1 GB. If there are
more than 128 nodes you should increase the size of the partition to 2 GB or
greater.
v
A /home partition of 2 GB, as a minimum. The customer should customize
this to meet their expected needs.
v
swap defined as 2 GB.
v
A root partition mounted as / with an initial size of 4 GB.
7. Select Software and choose Default system. Then select Detailed and make
sure Network/Server is selected. Select Timezone and change if necessary.
The operating system will start installing. At some point you will be asked to
reboot the system to complete the installation.
After installation completes you can configure the Network interfaces. Enter the IP
addresses for each device contained in the Management Node using the table
shown below: Both eth1 and eth2will not be available during the install process.
Any network configuration for eth1 and eth2 must be done after the initial
installation.
