Powering Up a System with the Windows HPC OS Installed
Use the following procedure to power up a system that has the Windows HPC OS installed on the headnode:
1. Verify that the power cords are connected to the rear of the system and the site power source.
2. Move the system enable switch on the rear of the enclosure to the ON position
Note:
The system enable switch applies power to all internal trays and switches. The headnode (located in the top
tray) is the only node that is configured to power-on automatically. The compute nodes do not power-on automatically;
you must start them manually with the Microsoft HPC Cluster Manager or IPMI View tools. (These tools are not
available until you run the
HPCGettingStarted
application.)
3. Run the
HPCGettingStarted
application from the headnode (choose
Start -> All Programs -> local
Disk(C:) -> OEM Extras -> w2k8r1_hpc_pack_sp1 -> HPCGettingStarted
) to install/configure the
compute nodes.
Note:
Once you have completed running the
HPCGettingStarted
application, you can use the Microsoft HPC
Cluster Manager or IPMI View tools to remotely manage the compute nodes.
4. Change the headnode hostname and IP address to the desired settings for your site, and change the headnode BMC IP
address to the desired setting for your site.
Useful Information and Recommendations
• For systems that use the SGI Management Center:
– SGI has copied the installation ISO images to the
/opt/sgi/Factory-Install
directory on the headnode.
SGI recommends backing up this directory and its contents to another system or disk to enable quick recovery if
the system headnode disk fails or gets corrupted. Refer to the SGI Management Center Quick Start Guide, P/N
007-5672-00x.
– SGI recommends cloning the entire headnode system disk and copying it to a different system for safekeeping.
Refer to the SGI Management Center Quick Start Guide, P/N 007-5672-00x.
– The
/data1/sgi_host_clone.tar.gz
file includes the payloads installed on the compute nodes. SGI
recommends backing this file up to another system for safekeeping. Refer to the SGI Management Center Quick
Start Guide, P/N 007-5672-00x.
• To use
ipmitool
directly on a node (in-band), you must issue the following commands to enable use on the node:
# chkconfig ipmi
# /etc/init.d/ipmi start
• To use
ipmitool
directly on a node (in-band), enter the following command:
ipmitool <command>
