Scope of this document

The scope of the cluster test administration tasks described in this document is limited to fully cabled Cluster Platform solutions. In general, these will be based on the HP Cluster Platform 3000 (CP3000), 4000 (CP4000), and 6000 (CP6000) product offerings. It is assumed that all component hardware in the solution has undergone full functionality and burn-in using standard manufacturing test procedures.

See the HP Cluster Test Release Notes, available at http://www.hp.com/go/ct-docs, for a list of supported platforms and components.

Not included in the scope of this document is software validation of the cluster configuration following customer software load. This validation will occur based on the validation diagnostics provided with the particular flavor of cluster software ordered by the customer (HP Insight Cluster Management Utility (CMU), XC, Scali, Scyld, or other.) Also, the software deployment functionality provided by System Imager and described in this document is currently only used in support of the test image deployment. Customer software load is beyond the scope of this document and again will be performed based on the type of cluster.
