3.2 Installation Requirements

A set of HP SFS G3.2-0 file system server nodes should be installed and connected by HP in

accordance with the HP SFS G3.2-0 hardware configuration requirements.

The file system server nodes use the CentOS 5.3 software as a base. The installation process is

driven by the CentOS 5.3 Kickstart process, which is used to ensure that required RPMs from

CentOS 5.3 are installed on the system.

NOTE: CentOS 5.3 is available for download from the HP Software Depot at:

http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot

NOTE: Lustre does not support SELinux on servers or clients. SELinux is disabled in the

Kickstart template provided with HP SFS G3.2-0.

3.2.1 Kickstart Template Editing

A Kickstart template file called sfsg3DVD.cfg is supplied with HP SFS G3.2-0. You can find

this file in the top-level directory of the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD, and on an installed system in

/opt/hp/sfs/scripts/sfsg3DVD.cfg. You must copy the sfsg3DVD.cfg file from the

DVD, edit it, and make it available during installation.

This file must be modified by the installer to do the following:

• Set up the time zone.

• Specify the system installation disk device and other disks to be ignored.

• Provide root password information.

IMPORTANT: You must make these edits, or the Kickstart process will halt, prompt for input,

and/or fail.

You can also perform optional edits that make setting up the system easier, such as:

• Setting the system name

• Configuring network devices

• Configuring ntp servers

• Setting the system networking configuration and name

• Setting the name server and ntp configuration

While these are not strictly required, if they are not set up in Kickstart, you must manually set

them up after the system boots.

The areas to edit in the Kickstart file are flagged by the comment:

## Template ADD

Each line contains a variable name of the form %{text}. You must replace that variable with the

specific information for your system, and remove the ## Template ADD comment indicator. For

example:

## Template ADD timezone %{answer_timezone}

%{answer_timezone} must be replaced by your time zone, such as America/New_York

For example, the final edited line looks like:

timezone America/New_York

Descriptions of the remaining variables to edit follows:

## Template ADD rootpw %{answer_rootpw}

%{answer_rootpw} must be replaced by your root password, or the encrypted form from the

/etc/shadow file by using the --iscrypted option before the encrypted password.
