The Cluster Systems Management/Management Server (CSM/MS)
installation is performed by the customer.
Before proceeding, obtain the following information:
- The CSM Planning and Installation Guide for your
AIX and Linux version. The guide can be found in the CSM library in
the IBM Cluster Information Center.
- The server installation information for the CSM/MS machine type
and model.
The following procedure is for installing the CSM/MS in the
high-performance computing (HPC) cluster. See the
Cluster Systems Management planning work sheet that you completed during the planning
phase for the cluster.
Note: The tasks have reference labels to use
as cross-references between figures and procedures. The first is from
Figure 1 and
the second is from
Figure 1.
For example,
E1 (M1) indicates task label
E1 in the
figure and task label
M1 in the High-level cluster installation
flow topic.
- CM1 (M1): Perform the physical installation of the
CSM/MS on the data center floor. If you are using a separate
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for the service
or cluster virtual local area network (VLAN) that is being installed
as part of this installation activity, also physically place it on
the data center floor.
- CM2 (M2): Perform the procedures in the CSM
Installation Guide. When performing those procedures,
you must ensure that you complete the following steps. If you are
using a separate DHCP server for the service VLAN, also perform the
following steps for it, and for the CSM/MS. Do not perform the steps
for configuring DHCP on the CSM/MS.
- Install the CSM/MS system hardware.
- Update the operating system on the CSM/MS.
- Install the CSM code on the CSM/MS.
- As appropriate, enable the CSM/MS as the DHCP server
for the service VLAN and the cluster VLAN. If you are using
a separate DHCP server, perform this step on that server instead of
the CSM/MS.
- Define the subnet ranges for the service and cluster
VLANs. If you are using a separate DHCP server, perform
this step on that server instead of on the CSM/MS.
- Configure the DHCP ranges for the servers and bulk power
controllers (BPCs). If you are using a separate DHCP server,
perform this step on that server instead of the CSM/MS.
- Add the planned static IP addresses for
the HMCs to the Cluster-Ready Hardware Server (CRHS) peer domain.
- Do not proceed until the service and cluster VLANs Ethernet
devices have been installed and configured as described in Installing and configuring service VLAN devices.
- CM3 (M3): Cable the CSM/MS to the service and cluster
VLANs. If you are using a separate DHCP server, cable it
to the appropriate VLANs also.
- CM4 (M4): Start the DHCP server on the CSM/MS, or
if applicable, on a separate DHCP server. This step blocks
other installation tasks for servers and management consoles that
require DHCP service from CRHS.
- Use the information from the Cluster Systems Management planning work sheet to
enter the configuration information for the server in its /etc/motd.
Other procedures that involve the CSM/MS are part of L1
- L3 and R1 - R2, which are all part of major task M4.
