Abo ut T his Doc ument This document describes how to prepare the nodes in your HP cluster platform before installing HP XC System Softw are. An HP XC system is integrated with several open source softw are components. Some open source softw are components are being used for underlying technology , and their deployment is transparent.
Ctrl+x A key sequence. A sequence such as Ctrl+x indicates that y ou must hold down the key labeled Ctrl while you press another key or mouse button. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE The name of an environment v ariable, for example, PATH . [ERROR NAME] The name of an error , usually returned in the errno v ariable.
Provides an overview of managing the HP XC user environment with modules, managing jobs with LSF , and describes how to build, run, debug, and troubleshoot serial and parallel applications on an HP XC system.

HP server blades offer an entirely modular computing system with separate computing and physical I/O modules that are connected and shared through a common chassis, called an enclosure; for more information on enclosures, see “Server Blade Enclosure Components” (page 22) .
1 .2 Serv er Blade Enc losur e Com ponents HP server blades are contained in an enclosure, which is a chassis that houses and connects blade hardw are components. An enclosure is managed by an Onboard Administrator . The HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 enclosures are supported under HP XC.

As shown in Figure 1-3 , the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure can house a maximum of 16 half-height or 8 full-height server blades. The c7000 enclosure can contain a maximum of 6 pow er supplies and 10 fans.

server blades do not have three NICs, and therefore, half-height serv er blades are not included in this example Because NIC1 and NIC3 on a full-height server blade are connected to interconnect bay 1, y ou must use VLANs on the switch in that bay to separate the external network from the administration network.

3 Making Node and S w itc h Connec ti ons This chapter provides information about the connections between nodes and switches that are required for an HP XC system.
to create a higher bandwidth connection between the Root Administration Switches and the Branch Administration Switches. For physically small hardw are models (such as a 1U HP ProLiant DL145 serv er), a large number of servers (more than 30) can be placed in a single cabinet, and are all attached to a single branch switch.
Root Administration Switch This switch connects directly to Gigabit Ethernet ports of the head node, the Root Console Switch, Branch Administration Switches, and other nodes in the utility cabinet.

Starting with port 1, the ports are used for links from Branch Console Switches. T runking is not used. — — Starting with port 21 and in descending order , ports are assigned for use by individual nodes in the utility cabinet. Nodes in the utility cabinet are connected directly to the Root Administration Switch.

The method for wiring the administration network and interconnect networks allows expansion of the system within the system's initial interconnect fabric without recabling of any existing nodes. If additional switch chassis or ports are added to the system as part of the expansion, some recabling may be necessary .
If you do not specify the --ic=AdminNet option, the discover command attempts to locate the highest speed interconnect on the system with the default being a Gigabit Ethernet netw ork that is separate from the administration network.
