Symptom

  assigning node template

Affected configurations

The system is configured with at least one of the following:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Datacenter 32-bit, any service pack
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Datacenter 64-bit, any service pack
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Enterprise 32-bit, any service pack
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Enterprise 64-bit, any service pack
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Standard 32-bit, any service pack
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Standard 64-bit, any service pack

This tip is not hardware specific.
This tip is not option specific.

  • The Compute Cluster Pack utility is affected.

Note: This does not imply that the network operating system will work under all combinations of hardware and software. Please see the compatibility page for more information: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/

Workaround

The user can view the actual progress of the provisioning by clicking the Provisioning Log tab in the Node Management section of the HPC Cluster Manager.

Additional information

This symptom is seen because a generic message is used that does not reflect the actual state of the node. Microsoft considers the template not to be assigned until provisioning completes. The user can view the progress of provisioning in the log. There is no fix planned by Microsoft at this time.
