that it is accessible to Nagios during system operation. For more information on Nagios, see the HP XC System Software Administration Guide.
6.Review the documentation that came with the hardware and have it available, if needed.
7.If your hardware configuration contains server blades and enclosures, proceed to “Setting the Onboard Administrator Password” (page 62).
Depending upon the type of cluster platform, proceed to one of the following sections to prepare individual nodes:
•“Preparing the Hardware for CP3000 (Intel Xeon with EM64T) Systems” (page 63)
•“Preparing the Hardware for CP4000 (AMD Opteron) Systems” (page 87)
•“Preparing the Hardware for CP6000 (Intel Itanium) Systems” (page 122)
4.4Setting the Onboard Administrator Password
If the hardware configuration contains server blades and enclosures, you must define and set the user name and password for the Onboard Administrator on every enclosure in the hardware configuration.
IMPORTANT: You cannot set the Onboard Administrator password until the head node is installed and the switches are discovered. For more information on installing the head node and discovering switches, see the HP XC System Software Installation Guide.
The Onboard Administrator user name and password must match the user name and password you plan to use for the iLO2 console management devices. The default user name is Administrator, and HP recommends that you delete the predefined Administrator user for security purposes.
If you are using the default user name Administrator, set the password to be the same as the iLO2. If you create a new user name and password for the iLO2 devices, you must make the same settings on all Onboard Administrators.
Follow this procedure to configure a common password for each active Onboard Administrator:
1.Use a network cable to plug in your PC or laptop to the administration network ProCurve switch.
2.Make sure the laptop or PC is set for a DHCP network.
3.Gather the following information:
a.Look at the Insight Display panel on each enclosure, and record the IP address of the Onboard Administrator.
b.Look at the tag affixed to each enclosure, and record the default Onboard Administrator password shown on the tag.
4.On your PC or laptop, use the information gathered in the previous step to browse to the Onboard Administrator for every enclosure, and set a common user name and password for each one. This password must match the administrator password you will later set on the ProCurve switches. Do not use any special characters as part of the password.
After you set the Onboard Administrator password, prepare the nodes as described in the appropriate section for all the server blade nodes in the enclosure:
