3.3 High-level checklist for building an HP Insight CMU cluster
After HP Insight CMU is installed and running on the management node, the rest of the cluster can
be configured as follows:
1. Start HP Insight CMU on the management node.
2. Start the GUI client on the GUI workstation.
3. Scan the compute nodes.
4. Create the network entities. For details, see “Network entity management” (page 39) .
5. Perform a full Linux installation on the first compute node. This is referred to as the "golden
node".
6. Create the logical groups.
7. Backup the golden node in its logical group. This operation creates the "golden image" from
which other compute nodes are cloned. You can have several golden images, each in its own
logical group.
8. Clone the compute nodes.
9. Deploy the management agent on the compute nodes.
a.
Install the expect package.
b. Install the monitoring rpm.
c. Ping all nodes from the management node.
