Installing or Updating Software

Scali Manage offers a mechanism to upload and install software across the cluster. This upload 
and installation process requires that the software installation be in RPM format. Tarball software 
distributions can be installed across a cluster. Please see the Scali 

scarcp

 (cluster remote copy) 

and the 

scash

 (cluster remote shell) commands in the 

Scali Manage User’s Guide

. 

Instructions for installing software options or uploading additional software for your cluster using 
the Scali GUI are covered in Chapter 3 of the 

Scali Manage User’s Guide

. 

Your integrated cluster also comes with a NFS mounted filesystem. The head node exports a 

/data1

 directory. Each compute node mounts this exported filesystem on 

/cluster

. This can 

be used as a mechanism to install software across the cluster as well.

Customers with support contracts needing BIOS or Firmware updates, should check the SGI 
Supportfolio Web Page at: 

https://support.sgi.com/login

Accessing BIOS Information 

BIOS Setup Utility options are used to change server configuration defaults. You can run 
BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. You can enter and start the BIOS 
Setup Utility after you apply power to a head node or compute node (with a console attached) and 
the Power-On Self Test (POST) completes the memory test. During the POST, the following 
prompt displays may be encountered:
