Learn about the general tasks for installing a high-performance
computing (HPC) cluster with an InfiniBand network.
The general installation process consists of the following tasks:
- Separate the installation tasks so that they are based on the
generalized tasks and the people responsible for them. Understand
the installation responsibilities by organization and the responsibilities
of units and devices.
- Ensure that you understand the planning installation flow. It
is crucial to understand the merge points to coordinate a successful
installation.
- The detailed installation instructions follow a specific order
of installation. The major task numbers found in the Order of installation
topic are referenced in the detailed installation instructions. The
detailed instructions might contain several steps for completing a
major task.
- If you are not performing a new installation, you might be expanding
an existing cluster or adding functions to support an InfiniBand network.
In this case, see the topics about cluster expansion or additions
to complete the partial installation.
