5 XC Software Installation

For more details on the following steps, see the HP XC System Software Installation Guide, Section 2.3.2.

5.1Booting the DVD

1.Start the installation, leaving the browser on the laptop connected to the OA.

NOTE: This document assumes that the internal DVD drive will be used. However, the boot process can be much faster if you use an external drive attached to the head node with

a dongle.

3.Turn off the power to the head node.

4.Turn on the power to the head node.

Boot: linux ks=hd:scd0/ks.cfg

For HP Proliant BL465c:

Boot: linux ks=hd:scd0/ks.cfg pci=nommconf

6.Select first disk, a global file system, and no RAID. You must choose your own time zone. For example:

Select the disk for the installation: 1

Do you want to create the XC global file system?: Y

Would you like XC to use the default partition table?: d Enter "C" to continue C

Time Zone:timezone

Root Password:Test1234
