New command line utility for cluster power management (clpower)
This utility performs multiple power operation on Compute Nodes using the Management Processor interface. System administrators will be able to use this utility to turn the power on and off, turn the indicator lights on and off, and inquire about the power status of Compute Nodes.
New command line utility to manage system file customizations on Compute Nodes
(clsysfile)
This utility creates and manages customizations to system files for installation on Compute Nodes. This allows system administrators to preserve customizations across Golden Image cloning operations.
Integration with HP system management tools
ClusterPack configures and performs basic integration with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) if it is installed on the Management Server.
Flexible configurations
The following services are now optional:
•NIS
•Integration with other HP system management tools
•Secondary DNS servers
Utilities to preserve system file customizations during cloning
This utility packages files for installation on Compute Nodes during a cloning operation. Files are created on the Management Server, and packaged into an SD bundle. The resulting file bundle can be associated with a Golden Image. During a cloning operation, the file bundle will be automatically installed on the Compute Nodes. Multiple file bundles can be maintained, for use with multiple Golden Images. The file bundles can be manually installed on a given Compute Node. Removing the file bundle will restore the original files to the Compute Node.
